    Just saw this today in Monterey at the Breakwater / Coast Guard Pier. Was going out diving, and I have to admit it would be interesting to go down to 200+ feet in this sub. I know how much work there is in diving that deep, it would be cool to be "spoiled" and not have to worry about decompression stops etc.

    I assume the back pod is where R2D2 sits.

    This machine is amazing, possibly only bettered by diving with one of those hand-held propulsion devices.

    Taking that flying sub into the monterey bay would be amazing. The water isn't the clearest because it is full of tiny food for the amazing amount of life found there. Clear water is nutrient poor which is why it is less fun to dive in the clear Caribbean water. Monterey is the best diving I've had in this hemisphere.

    Ah but once under water don't aerodynamic principals become hydrodynamic principles? Or are they all just different applications of fluid dynamics? Wait I know! It's magic and you a damn WITCH!

    @Xeno: technically speaking. hydrodynamics and aero dynamics are both applications of fluid dynamics. air is in reality a viscous fluid as is water. so principles that work in air work just the same in watter. aerodynamics is just fluid dynamics with constants based on principles of air. hydrodynamics has constants based on water. and fluid dynamics has those constants as variables.

    @Xeno: The real question is does it actually use the same principles as "flying"? A plane creates lift using an aerofoil that forces air to go over the top faster than the bottom. The pressure differential is what causes the actual lift. I think that this sub would just use the force of the water pushing on its "wings" to cause it to dive? I wouldn't technically call that "flying"...but maybe I'm just too critical?
