Deep Flight Super Falcon Luxury Submarine

clipped from www.technovelgy.com Deep Flight Super Falcon Luxury Submarine Super Falcon, a new submarine from Deep Flight is a new submersible craft that can go barrel-rolling with dolphins at speeds much greater than those of other private submarines. The craft can stay underwater for up to five hours. The craft is powered by batteries and the turbines that drive the ship were made with special care to be incredibly quiet. The maneuverability also lets it navigate in strong currents that stifle other underwater craft, the creators said. Graham Hawkes won't take credit for the idea; he says that the idea of a submarine with fins and wings been around for a while. The 1972 French comic book, "Tintin and the Lake of Sharks," included a shark-like submarine with dorsal fins and a tail. Hawkes said that although the idea of wings may have been obvious, "The prize goes to he that does." SF fans might also recall fictional submersibles like Tom Swift's Jetmarine and the whale waldoes from David Brin's Sundiver.
