Graham Hawkes with his most prized creation |
The Falcon In Flight! |
Ocean technology is moving very fast to bring new unique
ways to discover more of the unknown. The underwater airplane is the next step
I furthering our knowledge of the deep blue. Graham Hawkes, inventor of the
Deepflight Super Falcon underwater airplane, had an idea one day while crawling
along the oceans floor in a submarine. He wondered if they could have a way to
swim with larger animals and to glide under the water faster. He came up with
the plan for the Deepflight and thus it was born. Instead of taking on water to
sink its self like submarines do, the Deepflight
uses propulsion and flaps to
glide through the water much like an airplane glides through the air. This
revolutionary product is a great feat of engineering and will make further
research easier. 94% of life on earth being aquatic, Graham knew that we needed
a way to see these animals more efficiently and he created it in his garage.
Today the Deepflight is still in testing but has been working extremely well.
