£1.3MILLION Batman-style armoured private submarine that boasts FOLDING wings
A £1.3MILLION Batman-style armoured private submarine has gone on sale.
The Kronos submarine can accommodate ten passengers and is suitable for commercial, rescue and combat operations.
Suffolk and UAE-based Highland Systems say the hybrid vessel “brings a whole new concept into the production of submarines across the world.”
The futuristic hydrodynamic design features folding wings for transportation.
It also has “an innovative hull design which significantly reduces fuel consumption, increases maximum speed, and provides superior stability.”
At nine metres long, the manta ray-shaped submarine can hit 80kph on water and 50kph under the waves.
It can reach depths of up to 250 metres and boasts a load capacity of up to 3000kg on water.
A hybrid propulsion system – diesel and electric – generates 1,200 horsepower.
That provides the big beast with 54 hours travel time.
The interior has adaptive lighting and air conditioning.
There’s an automated life support system too.
Plans for the craft also suggest torpedoes could be carried for military applications.
The company say the Kronos would be made in the UAE.
But delivery date has not been announced yet.
