What is special of best drone from Boeing?

According to plans of Boeing, patented drone can be delivered to the destination area using a special aircraft carrier. After that, the drone undock from him and continue to solo flight. Thus, if necessary, he will be able to plunge into the water.

To reduce weight and improve the hydrodynamic properties after immersion best drone to get rid of its wings and propellers, using explosive bolts and a water-soluble glue. In their place will propellers to move under water, as well as rudders.

The company says that in the air and the underwater best drone will be powered by a single engine. Nevertheless, the characteristics of this motor are not disclosed.

The underwater best drone will deploy its payload – supplies and weapons. In addition, the drone can be used for underwater exploration. In the underwater mode, it will use the built-in ballast tanks to control the depth of the dive.

After the underwater mission, drone pops up to the surface and transmit the collected data to other drones or command center.

Here is how this apparatus itself Boeing in its patent:

“The vehicle is capable of simultaneously for the flight and underwater movement. It consists of housing, specially designed to fly and movement under water; wing or stabilizer is attached to the body during the flight; the first set of propellers, which uses the vehicle during flight; coaxial with the first set the second set of propellers that uses the vehicle during the movement under water; at least one fastening element that secures the first set of propellers during the flight, and separates them from the fuselage after the dive.”

Like most patents described herein best drone is only an idea and not reached even before the concept stage. But if Boeing could bring his idea to the mind and begin to produce such drones transformers, they are certain there will be buyers.

Feature of electric submarine

This is a unique 3-meter submarine. It can reach speeds of up to 8 km / h – thanks to two electric motors. The built-in battery lasts for 2 hours of operation without recharging.

Maximum depth – 60 m. To manage only need one person.

There are contraindications. Talk to your doctor.

Scubster Nemo is positioned as a versatile tool. The submarine is suitable for rescue operations research needs of the Coast Guard, archaeological sites and so on.

If you believe the creators, the machine is very maneuverable. Manage it easily enough. Robust and easy – by the body of carbon fiber.

On board, there is a powerful video equipment and projectors. All that is required for high-quality recording.

The estimated price of the electric submarine – about 15 000 euros. Alas, Scubster Nemo can not buy. There is only a prototype, which is slowly improving.

Zoom release on our website Kickstarter, where the authors are raising money to bring the project of the electric submarine to mind.
