It seems that technology from the James Bond movies will come true. Boeing has filed a patent for a vehicle that can fly and travel underwater!
The following drone video shows the unmanned vehicle starting its journey from an airplane that moves it to the target.
There, after being freed from the plane carrying him, he flies until he meets her sea, where he sheds his wings and turns into a submarine.
This device could undertake refueling operations for submarines and other watercraft in general except βέβαια τις αποστολές espionages.
When its underwater mission is complete, the drone surfaces and begins transmitting 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 recently shown 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.
