how do you control it when submerged? AFAIK, water should block RC
-
I want one! want to play with it in the bath!

Nice....I loved that and the sub on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!
-
does your flying sub ahhh fly?
-
VERY nicely done! Great model!!!

the funding necessary isn't truly obtainable for most citizens, such as nuclear engines. Most large companies don't seem to even try to make such "trivial" machines, though I can see a lot of future profit in the invention of a working, lifesize model.

What kid in the 60's would have killed for this back then.

Admiral Nelson was an absolute genus with designing and building the Sea View
along with the N.I.M.R. When the Flying Sub was designed and built, no doubt
Nelson used some type (perhaps top secret) of super alloy for the haul. Which was
light enough for flight and strong enough to withstand pressure in the depths of the sea. The craft did have nuclear engines, along with ballast tanks.

I must be missing the point. Why is everyone finding this "Awesome"?

@Kinke sure they will!!!.
lol i hear ya dont let the wife find out :) you should sell the kit i can see alot of people are interested. good luck thanks for the reply. mike

How much are people willing to pay? This was alot of time and material. I enjoyed it because this propulsion system had never been done before, and I designed it. Others may not get the same amount of joy out the investment.

I have to admit that is very cool. However, a real flying sub is not likely. The extreme demands of flight and sumbmarines are not compatable. Even though aerodynamics and liquid dynamics are in many ways similar, subs are built to withstand pressure while planes must place a premium on keeping down weight. The combustion systems that make flight possible and those which would be useful in water don't really overlap.

But it worked in the TV show with nuclear engines.

how much did this cost to build and who would have the information to build your own?

Cost? My wife can never know. Information? It is all in my head and on 3D cad
