A couple of words about Chinese flying submarine drones

Image 1) Chinese flying submarine concept.

The idea of the flying submarine is not new. There made more or less theoretical plans for creating a submarine that can slip near its target, attack it, and fly away. Sometimes those systems are planned to use the ground-effect technology. And that thing could make those aircraft-submarine combinations fly at a low level.

Above this text, you can see the Chinese model or artist's impression of that thing. The fact is that those drones are large-size. And they can carry also agents and special forces operators to the coastline. But those systems' main role might be to operate as the ship-killers. And against coastal targets. But there is the possibility that the Russian new nuclear-powered "Skyfall"-missiles might be planned to have similar abilities.

The ability to patrol silently under the ocean surface. Until they get orders to attack. And then suddenly go airborne and attack against inland targets.

Another interesting thing about the underwater systems is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that can operate underwater and which makes it undetectable. There have been many submarines before WWII that has things like floatplanes. And Japanese submarines had floatplanes on board to search targets for submarines.

There is a possibility that some of those floatplanes could make torpedo attacks. But the nuclear-powered version would be a full-scale submarine aircraft carrier.

The idea was to combine the aircraft carrier and submarine. The carrier would patrol silently underwater. And then suddenly come to the surface and start the aircraft operations. The design was from the 1950s and that thing was too technical for that time's technical level. Things like VTOL aircraft removed the need to develop that kind of system. But it remains an example of a weird but innovative design.

There was a more conventional version of the "undercover aircraft carrier". The idea was that the submarine has a long incline or hangar above its roof. And then the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart jetfighter could launch from that hangar. The "Sea Dart" used water skis for take-off and landing. The idea was to use that aircraft against Soviet bombers. Maybe, there were plans that the similar skis that were installed under the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart will install under the body of the nuclear-powered cruise missile called "Project Pluto".

But modern submarines can operate by using multi-use drones. The small-size drones can make attack and patrol missions on the coastline and open seas. Those drones can use hydrogen as fuel and they can make similar missions to regular drones.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber. That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation. Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body. Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

. The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
