It is referring to the gliding effect the hull shape is optimised for. In the same way that the large gliding seabirds take advantage of the wind to fly without spending much energy. They can go for days without "flapping" their wings, because they alter the wing shape and wing attitude to the wind, and "harvest" the energy they need to stay aloft.

[@richardcox8409]

no its been around for a while, a couple ways to do it, "Salt water can produce electricity to light a lightbulb through a process called electrolysis" and "osmotic energy which uses the salt concentrated in seawater to produce electricity . The key element of this technology is a semi-permeable, double-sided membrane that lets water through but captures mineral salts. The membrane is in contact with freshwater on one side and seawater on the other" to quote a google search......I used my dads car battery charger to power my electrolysis project for my grade 7 science fair and Im 59 now

@@edwardhanna86 Hahaha. No, you don't have that right. The air and the water obey the very same principles, look up "fluid dynamics" and read about it. A penguin can't "fly" in the air because his wings are too short to support his body weight. But they do "fly" under the water exactly the same as a bird does in the air, because their weight is supported more by the water. And a fish like a flounder, or a halibut, and even a seahorse, does glide just like an albatross. They flap their wings to get going, then they glide along through the water.

I would advise asking around for more truck transport quotes. Had something (industrial machinery) shorter but same width shipped on a truck from south Italy to Netherlands done for 3000-4000€. A Romanian big load company was much cheaper than others. But getting it across the channel will probably remain difficult and expensive.

[@TonyD3377]

Magnetize it. If the outer shell is stainless steel or something else magnetic if you put a thin lining underneath it of a non ferrous metal to prevent electronics from getting fried than you could switch on the juice and electrify it, killing the sea life that attaches and potentially killing the oxidizing which is potentially a life form itself. Rust is the process of water breaking down metal which allows for the minerals to be reincorporated into the environment thus feeding new life, so in essence it’s a life form. I dunno just a thought

The DarkStar now the Manta Ray? We have a lot of cool things coming

[@TheReal_JG]

Dark Star was only a side project for Skunkworks that designers were given the chance to create a 'futuristic' SR-71 successor for Top Gun. Almost nothing from that concept will be in the actual Skunkworks project since that's still a closely guarded secret.

[@choward874]

There is artificial shark skin they can use for the exterior. Nothing will stick to it.

I guarantee they already know most of its capabilites. As far as design goes, it's based on an animal, the Chinese can do that too, so can everyone else.

[@ReaA-nn2jx]

Not really how they'll do it. But yeah, they have thier plants transferring , buying data close by. Nonstop hacking by who knows how many teams there are ? And in the end, they'll have most everything they need for a prototype by the time ours are in a commissioned squadron

I read a science fiction book that had a submarine like this. It was a self-published book by a guy I met at Dallas comic con about 10 years ago.

[@pimpnsam1]

Is that one of the 40% of our submarines that cannot go out to sea because they're either in repair or waiting for repair?

[@fredachildress3728]

I heard about the Manta Ray before this, and I was thinking that we've been needing this for a while, and it shouldn't have taken so long, but at least now we do have the technology to build this.

[@VIRTag]

Now we should be able to discover every part of the ocean and televise it, right...!!!??? Anybody?

[@revolution2405]

I know that you are well aware that that will never happen. They certainly won't show us the extraterrestrials.

[@scottys1423]

Not yet. But as tech flows down to the public, you will eventually be able to build your own for reasonable expense and explore the entire ocean.

[@angelg2638]

$250,000 per seat. One way trip.

[@VIRTag]

@@angelg2638 is that how much tax dollars or took for it to be built, prior to this prototype...

All in all, everybody should be able to go out in sea in peace! Seriously this should be awesome and we will conquer the deepest abyss in the name of science and exploration/coverted and averted enemies

If you have know about it for 4 years, it means its been in development for a lot longer and most likely is already being actively used.
