Sub Built to Fly Like Underwater Airplane:
Flight Schools Train Undersea Pilots
The company best known for selling high-altitude fighter jet
flights now offers flights beneath the sea in the world's first
submersible to move like an airplane. Sarasota, Florida's Incredible
Adventures is joining Sub Aviator Systems, LLC of California to
offer flight training in the dual-controlled Super Aviator.
 The
Super Aviator is a one-of-a-kind winged submersible capable of
maneuvering beneath the sea in ways not possible in traditional
subs. Because the Super Aviator's operation is so unique, specialized
flight training is required before anyone can strap into one of
the craft's two pressurized cockpits and go for an underwater
flight.
Traditional submersibles are big and bulky and fly like underwater
balloons, relying on ballast systems to maneuver. The Aviator
is modeled after an A-10 aircraft and flies quickly and quietly
beneath the surface with the use of thrusters and flight controls.
Movement is so limited in traditional submersibles that operators
can sit inside on benches. Pilots of the hydrobatic Super Aviator
strap in using the same type of five-point harness system used
by Indy race car drivers.
The Super Aviator is compatible with the environment. Because
the Super Aviator runs on battery power, there is very little
disturbance to nature. Numerous, redundant life-support systems
and self-rescue devices are standard equipment to ensure the safety
of pilots while responsibly enjoying all that the ocean has to
offer.
Training is open to anyone over the age of 18 and in reasonably
good health. No dive certification or prior flying experience
is necessary. Aviator flying adventures range in price from $3350
to $8650. Flight lessons will be offered in Hawaii in February.
Other international destinations will soon follow.
The SAS is available for much more than training deep sea explorers,
including research and film expeditions. Her speed, agility and
range make her a good choice for studying and filming the ocean's
animals.

schools offered by Incredible Adventures and Sub Aviator Systems,
