participate

Boeing applied for a new patent, the UAV "second change" submarine.

August 20, according to foreign media reports, aircraft manufacturer Boeing intends to develop an amphibious drone, the design has been approved by the US authorities. The unique feature of this drone is its ability to sneak into the water and assist in transporting supplies to the submarine like “Transformers”.

According to reports, Boeing applied for a patent to the US Patent and Trademark Office in 2013 and was approved in April this year. Boeing said the amphibious drone can be used for underwater detection or to transport supplies to submarines.

According to the description, the drone can take off from the aircraft carrier, and then dive into the water after flying close to the target. The tail wing, the stabilizer and one of the propellers can be separated from the fuselage, which is convenient for underwater diving. The patent shows that the drone will be equipped with explosive bolts or glue that is soluble in salt water, making these components easy to separate from the fuselage.

According to the report, the drone relies on a pontoon to control the depth of the dive at the bottom of the water, while the other set of propellers allows the drone to sail like other mechanical submarines. When the drone is surfaced, data can also be transferred to the control center.

It is reported that the patent document does not detail which type of engine or fuel the drone uses, and there is no news that Boeing is testing. It is estimated that it is still in the concept stage.
