The ultimate boys’ toy: The Deep Flight Dragon Submarine
Words: Holly
As boys’ toys go this has, within a second of landing in our sightline, gone straight to the top of our if-money-were-no-object list. Just look at it. What’s cooler than having your own private submarine? No longer the reserve of Bond villains or members of the Navy, now is your chance to own your very own piece of every man’s dream. Enter the Deep Flight Dragon Submarine.
The DeepFlight Dragon takes underwater flight to the next level by enabling you to both hover and fly. You take the controls. As the pilot in a boundless sea, you have the freedom to chart your own course and explore a piece of the planet no human has seen before. Like all DeepFlight craft, the Dragon has fixed positive buoyancy, meaning that it will always naturally float back to the surface. No variable ballast system, no drop weights; just pure, safe underwater exploration.
The Dragon is the first DeepFlight craft to offer hovering capability, allowing complete freedom to cruise alongside big animals or stop and hover over ancient shipwrecks. Quad brushless DC thrusters and an underwater lithium battery pack give you quiet, efficient operation for up to 6 hours between charges. At 1800kg and only 5m in length, the Dragon is able to fit on more yachts than any other submarine on the market, with little or no retrofit required.
SPECIFICATIONS:, LENGTH – 5.0 m (16ft 5in), WIDTH – 1.9 m (6ft 3in), HEIGHT – 1.1 m (3ft 7in), WEIGHT – 1,800 kg (4000 lbs), OPERATING DEPTH – 120 m (400 ft), PAYLOAD – 250 kg (550 lbs)
