Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A real submersible flying boat which is both flight-capable and submersible has hardly been reported yet. In this paper, the Flying Fish created by Beihang University will be introduced to verify the feasibility of this kind of novel aircraft. The Flying Fish achieves its ability to transfer between the air and the water by imitating the flying fish and aquatic birds. The morphological characteristics of the flying fish and the variable density method of the aquatic birds are imitated in the design of this novel aircraft. Moreover, the technological deficiencies of this vehicle have also been concluded through the experiments, which can be referred to by the relative future studies.
