It looks like the technology from the James Bond movies will become a reality. Boeing has filed a patent for a vehicle that can fly as well as travel under water!
The video below of the new drone shows the unmanned vehicle starting its journey from one airplane which carries it to the target.
There, after being freed from the plane carrying him, he flies until he meets her sea, where he leaves the wings of and turns into a submarine.
This device could undertake refueling operations for submarines and generally other floating media except for espionage missions.
When the underwater mission is completed, the drone emerges and begins to transmit data.
To remove the wings when it enters the water, the device uses explosive bolts, or even a glue that dissolves when it comes into contact with seawater so that no significant parts of the aircraft are destroyed by the explosions.
The patent was filed by Boeing in April 2013 and was issued recently by PatentYogi.
Of course, we can not know if such vehicles already exist, as it is a project that is very likely to be funded by a government that does not want publicity for obvious reasons.
