Abstract
The present invention discloses a wirelessly controlled vehicle that is configured to travel in air, on liquid and under liquid with an ability to communicate with a remote operator through wireless communication.
Claims14
A wirelessly controlled vehicle configured for air travel and submerged travel, the vehicle comprising:
- a submerging body;
- a surface body configured to be coupled to the submerging body during air travel and decoupled from the submerging body during submerged travel, the surface body configured to at least in part float during submerged travel and the surface body configured to wirelessly receive operational instructions during submerged travel;
- an air propulsion system operatively coupled to one or more of the submerging body and the surface body;
- a liquid propulsion system operatively coupled to the submerging body;
- and
- a tether communicatively connecting the submerging body and the surface body, the tether configured to transfer data indicative of the operational instructions between the submerging body and the surface body.
