Breaking news, the scientists are trying to turn fiction into reality. For many years now, the SF movies took us into a world where impossible became possible and since then the scientists got ideas and tried to make real some of the wonderful devices seen in movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman or James Bond. From sophisticated computers and robots all the way to cars, the science brought from our imagination right into the stores those wonder things. They now took up the challenge to create a fusion of an aircraft and a submarine. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants to develop a submersible aircraft.
The Pentagon used DARPA to get most of its revolutionary innovations and such an aircraft would be a must have for them and they could use it to implant clandestinely spies or militaries on hostile shores. The submersible aircraft would combine the best things from a plane, a boat and a submarine like speed and range, stealth, etc. Mainly this craft would have the following features: light like an airplane and heavy and resistant like a submarine. In only eight hours it should fly 1,000 nautical miles, ship 100 nautical miles, and travel underwater for only 12 more nautical miles.
In fact they are not the first one with this idea, but all the experiments failed. Why does DARPA think will succeed where everyone else failed? Because no one stops them to do so and until now they have been fortunate enough to record only successes. Good luck to them and we are looking forward to see it happening.
