- dha07030, on 10/10/2008, -1/+11Funny how you type that on a computer connected to the internet.
- fpaudon, on 10/09/2008, -0/+9Meh. Call me when they produce concept proposals for Metal Gear
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7And I think planes fly via lift, not by being lighter than air.
- rz8472, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6The Magic School Bus.
- alieneggsac, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6You laugh but this is actually quite feasible. All you would need to do is to modify a standard ground affects aircraft (e.g. Soviet ikranoplan) and this would be quite doable. As long as the plane doesn't have to fly at 10,000 ft or anything like that, this is very acheivable.
- Rocketman1882, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5For science and engineering!
- salter84, on 10/09/2008, -1/+6Meh. Im sure it's not a must have. they need to invest in flying go karts and sharks with fricken laser beams.
- palehorse864, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow
- Ramenamen, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5METAL GEAR?!
- statuescrumble, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5Any old plane can be a submarine.
- opticwind, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5Sure, once.
- wiggles, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5I could see why they want one of these. Hell, *I* want one of these.
- MacBookForMe, on 10/09/2008, -10/+15Bless them, they still have enough taxpayers money to dream about such toys...while other citizens suffer...
- Mujokan, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4And how do you counter both of those threats? With a submersible plane. Obviously.
- Mujokan, on 10/10/2008, -1/+5We must freeze all spending except defense until we have built every single Thunderbird.
- eleetist, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3I click on every single Darpa article just to make sure someone has made an MGS related comment.
Thanks. - grumpyrain, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3No. That is just being stupid.
- grumpyrain, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3I don't see why not. Dr Claw had one decades ago.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Could a flying submarine be far behind?
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Have DARPA tried looking on Craigslist?
- opticwind, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3God that would be awesome. Can you imagine underwater dogfights?
...Ok actually this is getting less cool by the second. - 2Bnor2B, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Anyone remember the flying sub in the movie/series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"
http://www.vttbots.com/flying_sub_links.html - craighoxton, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Didn't we see one of those on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea?
- opticwind, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Listen, I get it. You hate McCain. You probably side with Obama. That's digg. But for once, can we stay on topic? Seriously, you turned a discussion of submersible airplanes into a political comment in 1 sentence. Sans segway.
- bodegit, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Oh that's easy!
http://mitsloan.mit.edu/mba/images/experience/kaiz ... - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Are you serious? Click here to continue to news.com? ***** that.
- reallytempting2, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I'd be happier with a plane that simply stayed in the sky.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Ahh... This reminds me of Irwin Allen's "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" series with the flying sub.
Now THAT was COOL-assed TV! - charlietuna, on 10/10/2008, -1/+3Point well taken. I don't think we should have gone in, but since we are there we should get this job done right. Too much money goes to Halliburton and Raytheon and not enough is set aside for mundane things like a reliable M16 replacement.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -2/+4Submersible airplane? WTF! How about putting f###ing ballistic glass on ALL vehicles in Iraq and not just the ones the officers ride in? And for s###s and giggles how about a/c in them too when the inside temp of a vechicle is 160 degrees it does make it difficult to operate in at anywhere near peak awareness.
- spyd3rweb, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Didn't it get eaten by some giant sea monster every other episode?
- lilhelper, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2DARPA has things we couldn't even imagine...
- swgc5, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Sigint?
- Apocolypse007, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1I found a concept!
http://www.ea.com/redalert/factions-empire.jsp?id= ...
Ok, maybe its from red alert.... but hey! its a start. - smotpoker1, on 10/10/2008, -2/+3Why don't you come the ***** home we need to repair America from the rape by GOP thugs.What the hell do we care what Iraq does.Pay attention to America she's being RAPED damn it.Looks like they put you out there on ***** reason to keep you away from stopping the rape.

demon baby enjoys submersion - BossKey, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Skydiver FTW!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wos5e_WlYs - GlitchEnzo, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1That's the first thing I thought of. I was hoping I wasn't the only one, so thanks!
- smotpoker1, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2A Seal team transport system to beat all transport systems. lets' built it and let's also commercialize it for lulz.The biggest highways of the world are the oceans.I mean who wouldn't want their OWN personalized "Submersible around the world airship"? I myself would like a asteroid parked into high orbit for my mansion or timeshare.Too bad I'm a poor man with dying dreams.I'm still pissed off I didn't get a flying car when I was little the car companies said we would have them before the year 2000.I think they got lazy and greedy.
- smotpoker1, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1***** gets blown up even in video games. Plan at lest to be bounced around at breakneck speeds and work it from there.Have you ever seen it where the arm stays there but the person is nowhere to be found?that would be Frakked up.
- KingGorilla, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1***** that things been to Neptune.
- wiggles, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1You mean like the mrap?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRAP_(armored_vehicle ...
Just because they're developing one toy doesn't mean they can't have somebody else work on another... - liuite, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1the Thunderbirds had one :-)
- geologist62, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1didn't see the other three posts saying the same thing?
- onsenguy, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Exactly what I had in mind. Gerry Anderson was so far ahead of the game.
- charlietuna, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1This has in fact been done already (I guess we lost the plans).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgbB9FyO6jQ - opticwind, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1No, they haven't finished their Teleportation Island gun yet.
- opticwind, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2We care because it was our country that went in and disabled their government and social services and set up a dependent government on our military.
Like it or not, we are (temporarily) responsible for Iraq. - Iphis, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2Ummm, I'd rather health care.
- charlietuna, on 10/10/2008, -1/+1The US was being raped for years by two political parties working in collusion. Each blaming the other for ills that were caused by a failure to lead combined with a desire to pander to populist sentiment and lobbyist influence. Thus we had deficit spending, insane military expansion, cave-ins to federal worker unions who receive generous pensions (which are all coming due), and complete loss of domestic manufacturing due to an inability to develop an economic policy beyond a trickle down free for all.
I'm looking for a bright side here. I see none. Don't give me that flag waving crap either. I want facts beyond some simplistic suggestion that the USA is Gods chosen country. When this is over we will be a fallen power just like the UK. On the bright side the UK is no basket case, but the era of Brtittania ended with the second world war. History will record a similar fate for the USA after the meltdown of 2008. THIS is George Bush's legacy (not that he is entirely responsible, but he certainly worked hard to keep this bubble expanding). -
