It seems that technology by Movies του James Bond θα γίνει πραγματικότητα. Η Boeing κατέθεσε ένα δίπλωμα ευρεσιτεχνίας για ένα όχημα που μπορεί να πετάξει αλλά και να ταξιδέψει κάτω από το water!
The video below of the new drone shows the unmanned vehicle starting its journey from one airplane which carries it to the target.
Once released from the airplane carrying it, it flies until it meets the sea, where it leaves its wings 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 recently shown by PatentYogi.
Of course we cannot know if such vehicles already exist, as it is one project which is very likely to be funded by some government that does not want publicity, for obvious reasons.
