Russian winged submarine would be a fascinating idea

I found interesting film on YouTube, what tells the story about Russian winged submarine, what seems very unique idea. The reason for those massive wing structure might be planned because those wings allow that the submarine could jump from the water like some giant dolphin or flying fish, and those wings would allow that this submarine could fly to a longer distance.

This submarine would use this ability when it flees from torpedoes. Another way to to make flying submarine is to replace the missile tubes with giant turbines, what was installed in tubes, what goes thru the hull of the submarine. This system might be used for nuclear power, and in theory, those submarines can fly to the earth orbiter. If that system would be made someday, it will have more capacity to operate than any ISS (International Space Station).


And those over 200 meters long systems would give the sophisticated opportunity for scientific and military operations at Earth orbiter. But those systems need nuclear power to operate perfectly. And the use of nuclear reactors would be quite dangerous in those cases, where untested technology would be used the first time. Those very rare but at the same time fascinating ideas are making engineering interesting thing, and probably some of them might be done in some day.


The idea of flying submarine would be one of them. And in theory somebody would replace missile tubes of some submarine with turbines, that can raise this thing to the air, but there would need very much power. Because this device would be heavier than air, could it maneuver by more agilely than the normal airship, and this makes it more capable than airships, what are lighter than air. The structure of airship makes it very easy to damage, and even one ammunition from the machine gun, what makes holes to the gas tanks might destroy that vehicle.


But heavier than air vehicles would also maneuver tightly, but the problem of those vehicles is, that they would need fuel during all operation, and the fuel is needed very much. And if the system uses nuclear energy, would there need the only propellant for those motors, what must raise tens tons to air. This kind of things are weird examples of engineering, and capacities, what imagination can give to technical advantages. And here we must say, that people thought that motorized aircraft was the hoax until Wright brothers flew with the motorized airplane in Kitty Hawk at 1901.
