Flying submarine with retractable wings

48.8k Baldovino  8.2 years ago

This submarine is actually able to fly! Actually you do not need wings to lift it, but only to control the fly, the upward thrust is largely guaranteed by the tail and canard.

It must of course take off from the sea, having no landing gear.

The VTOL slider commands the wings. The rotor movement has been restricted to prevent the wings, if moved improperly, causing the explosion of the model.

    @Garuda1ITalisman This flies, and float. But it's more an "air boat", than a "sea plane". LOL. In every case, it flies and flies very well.
