Hi folks,
This one of the older (and odder) patents I’ve seen for a submersible aircraft, due to Polomede Ferrari and Enrico Miglioli and filed on March 7th, 1918.
“The primary object of the invention is the provision of a flying machine in the nature of a hydroaeroplane adapted for traveling at desired elevations in the air as well as upon the surface of the water, provision being made for submerging the device for traveling beneath the surface of the water.
A further object of the device is to provide in a single machine a submergible craft and a hydroaeroplane whereby traveling may be readily accomplished beneath and upon the water as well as through the air.”
