Found this article http://www.subaviators.com/Portals/0/News/DIVER_JUNE_2009_Flying%20Subs.pdfthat discusses submersibles that fly underwater using dynamic lift.  It also mentions submersible aircraft "Joseph Hardo’s ‘Submarine Flying Boat’ of 1922, or Longobardi’s 1918 submarine-cum-aircraft described elegantly as a “Combination Vehicle”  It also shows some unreadable thumbnails of the patent sketches.  While doing an internet search on Longobardi he also developed concepts for the flying car.  I think he was trying to develop Jules Verne's Terror from "Master of the World".


When reading a recent patent by Graham Hawkes http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7131389.pdfon submersibles it cites Ardo in 1922 not Hardo which I believe is incorrect.



Hi,

Edit: I've moved Hesham's post here to the Naval Section, as it actually is a submarine, not an aircraft

If someone has a more appropriate title, just tell me ("Flying Fish "  ?   ;)  )
