Description

A flying submarine is designed to conduct research at the same time in water and air, transporting goods, as well as in the tourism business.

Submarines are widely known (Polytechnical Dictionary, Moscow, 1980, p. 388), capable of floating under water and on its surface, but not capable of flying in the atmosphere.

Seaplanes are known (Polytechnical Dictionary, Moscow, 1980, p.118), adapted to take off from a water surface (flying boat) and land on it, but not able to move under water.

The aim of this invention is to provide an apparatus that moves freely both in air and under water.

To accomplish this, the hatch of the winged hull of a flying submarine is connected to a retractable strut and, when raised above the hull, turns into an additional wing, and the engines of the flying submarine raised by the strut turn it into a biplane.

Figure 1 shows a flying submarine in a submerged state, figure 2 is a flying submarine after surfacing, figure 3 is a top view, figure 4 is a section along aa, figure 5 is a front view.

A flying submarine consists of a hull 1 (Fig. 1) with wings 2 attached to the hull, a propeller 3, with the help of which the apparatus moves under water until it is fully surfaced, tanks 4 filled with ballast (water) during immersion, and a cover 5, which does not allow water to enter the hull 1 when immersed, connected to the stand 6 (Fig. 2) by a hinge (not shown) that allows the lid 5 to be rotated in a horizontal plane up, down, left and right along the course of the flying submarine. At the base of rack 6, engines 7 are installed that accelerate a flying submarine with empty tanks 4 and lift it into the air. The rack 6 ends with a collar 8 (figure 4), protecting it from falling out of the housing 1 during flight.

A flying submarine operates as follows.

At the intended point of the tank 4 (Fig. 1), the flying submarine is freed from ballast and the latter floats to the surface. The rack lifting mechanism (not shown) is activated, and it rises from the housing 1 together with the cover 5 and the motors 7 (Fig. 2) mounted on its base until the collar 8 (Fig. 4) abuts the housing 1 The engines 7 accelerate the flying submarine and the cover 5, turning to some angle by a rotation mechanism (not shown), lifts the device into the air. The reduction and rotation of the flying submarine are carried out by the corresponding slopes of the cover 5. After the landing of the flying submarine at the designated point, the rack 6, together with the engines 7, is lowered into the hull 1 (Fig. 1), and the cover 5 tightly closes the hatch, eliminating the ingress of water into the hold. Tanks 4 are filled with ballast (water) and the flying submarine is submerged to a predetermined depth and, using the propeller 3, is moved underwater to a newly set point.

Claims (1)

A flying submarine, including a hull with wings, engines, ballast tanks, a propeller and a cover over the hatch of the hull, characterized in that the lid pivotally connected to the movable strut acts in two ways: on the one hand, like an ordinary lid, and on the other hand, as an additional wing, carrying out lifting, turning and landing by turning a small angle up, sideways and down.
