How cool is that. I cant wait to see what they do with these on the next James bond movie.
There was something similar to this back in the 20,s. Ive got a picture somewhere of it.
It was a little outboard boat with a pivoted arm coming off the bow. Attached to this arm was a small glider. The driver/pilot sat in this and operated this boat remotely from the cockpit. The glider flew as a normal plane with the forward motion of the boat providing the speed to give it lift. It worked well. Needless to say the idea never took off.
