SAS Super Aviator Flight Demonstration

www.SubAviators.com Conventional submersibles rise and fall in the water column, very similar to hot air balloons, and are slow to maneuver. Super Aviator can take pilots 1000 feet deep at speeds up to six knots! Capable of covering large areas of the sea floor in a short amount of time, Super Aviator is an ideal tool for flying long lengths of pipeline, searching large underwater debris fields, or quenching an adventurers' taste for underwater exploration in a sleek, fun to fly, and very non-conventional submersible. Super Aviator serves as SAS's proof of concept for underwater flight. The second generation of "winged-submersibles" now available from SAS is ORCASUB. Please visit our website for more information. Thank you for watching and join us in promoting responsible exploration of our ocean planet.

the difference between this and a submarine is.......

[SASSubAviatorSystems]

.....actually (are) many! Speed and maneuverability are most distinguishable. Think of conventional submersibles as 'hot air balloons'; rising and falling in the water column. Super Aviator banks and turns similar to an airplane with rudders, ailerons, and elevators manipulated with real flight controls- joystick and pedals! It's a blast!

want one....eh, as long as it doesn't damage any sea life!

We consider ourselves stewards of the ocean and appreciate your like-minded thinking!

Where can I buy one?

[SASSubAviatorSystems]

Directly from us. We are the designer, manufacturer and operators. Check out our website for the second generation winged-submersible ORCASUB. $2.2 million (US), well equipped and considerably more capable than our flight demonstrator, Super Aviator.

Very interesting submersible & relevent technology. Is it positively, neutrally or negatively buoyant? I would like to know what would happen if the motors fail. What are it's safety features? How many hours of training time is required prior to piloting the submersible?

[SASSubAviatorSystems]

Great question! Because we are using wet-flooded lead-acid batteries, there is speculation that voltage drops created by the electrolyte shifting away from the battery plates when inverted, we have yet to... invert. Our testing thus far has included 90 degree dive and climb angles without problems. Our newest winged submersible ORCASUB has options for gel and li-ion which will be capable of inversions for any period of time!

how does this thing handle going upside down?
