  • It never flew!!!

  • @Sweboii95 The name "Flying Submarine" is associated with the show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The model in this video is they same style of hull known as the Flying Submarine or FS1.

  • Neat! Memories of Richard Basehart. What are you using for propulsion?

  • @NcalBiker A couple of small bilge pumps.

  • @bcliffe3055 A bit more... Attitude control. Directional control on the output nozzles only or did you use ballast control? I didn't see any control surfaces. Thinking a combination of both, pumping between tanks for aft and side to side to assist nozzle control.

  • @NcalBiker There is no ballast system, it is a dynamic diver. The shape of the hull actually makes the flying sub want to dive all on it's own. Any forward motion will take it underwater. The bilge pumps outputs can be directed up and up and down to control depth.

    Google "bcliffe flying sub" to find a link to my build log of how my FS1 is put together.

  • yup i want one

  • This is great...now make it fly! Love this!

    In the Fantastic Worlds of Irwin Allen, there is footage of divers pushing the real flying sub through the water. It seemed like all it needed was a little shove and it glided nicely through the shot.

  • This is great...now can you make it fly?

  • @bcliffe3055 I see. Thanks.

  • @bcliffe3055 Great idea. Gives me ideas. Thnx.
