Students built a drone that flies through air, dives underwater, maneuvers beneath the surface, and shoots back up. All in one sequence. Their own university listed the applications: ship inspections, search and rescue, and military ops. If this is what undergrads can build openly, the classified version of this... show more

The physics of water density is 800x higher than air. Whoever solves the battery drain for those transitions wins the entire market.

Great. Next up underwater kamikaze drones you can’t see, until you realize it blew a hole in your ship.

And this should surprise us why?? R&D has been alive and good for years.

Brilliant young minds just built the future: a true air-and-sea drone. Game changer.

call this a reckless plot twist, for sure

Dual-medium drones already exist in research, but scaling them for real-world endurance is still the main hurdle.

Scale that bad boy up.

Love this, that’s ace - such clever work from undergrads. Imagine the search and rescue uses. Do you know how long it can stay submerged?

I bet those are in military operation right now

good point on built

Yeah go ahead and collect the 💰💰💰…. That will be big

lowkey wanna know what the black budget one does

🤣👀

UAPs still knocking this outta water 🌊

Mind-blowing. Undergrads just built a real-life sci-fi drone that transitions air → water → air seamlessly. The fact that this is the public version is actually terrifyingly impressive. The military applications must be insane already. Future is here. 🚀🔥

saltwater eats motors, what's the plan

I’ve been seeing videos of this drone and it is pretty cool

Impressive. But that’s been around in the intelligence community.

Neat. I like it.

Very clever generation

I suppose that’s not really surprising, given that R&D has been thriving for so many years.
