A Yacht Submarine Concept

Flying cars, drill machines that take people underground, rocket boats and cars that turn into submarines. These types of vehicles have long been products of a writer’s imagination shown in literature, television, action flicks and movies of science fiction. In the real world, we just don’t have the technology to create such things in this present age. But the constant advance of research and experimentation seem to point us to a future with many possibilities. For example, what if you could have a yacht that was also a submarine for traveling underwater?

Recently, some designers conceived such a concept. They call it the U-010. According to its design, this vessel would be 66.5 meters long, made in the style of a regular yacht and it would be powered by diesel and electric propulsion.

Of course, it’s just an idea on the design table. However, the technology might become available to actually build the U-010 someday. As human beings, we do tend to consider the future and wonder about the things that are to come. Nevertheless, I think concepts like this yacht submarine are better off being considered things of literature, television and film. After all, just because designers conceive a new idea doesn’t mean it’s eventually going to become a reality?
