Flying Underwater
From sleek yachts, to private jets, to customized sports cars, high-end collectibles never cease to amaze. Perhaps it’s time to add one more to the list of high-tech luxury toys.
With more than 10 years in the business of constructing underwater craft, Hawkes Ocean Technologies has built vehicles for researchers and moviemakers. It only seems fitting that they go one step further.
For those interested in a deep sea adventure, Hawkes Ocean Technologies may offer the perfect solution to tour the depths with its Deep Flight Super Falcon. The sleek craft, with its thin body, two seats, two sets of wings and two tail fins, is said to be extremely agile, allowing barrel-rolls with dolphins while traveling at speeds faster than other private submarines. The craft can also stay underwater for up to 5 hours, travel up to 6 knots and can dive as deep as 1,500 feet below the water’s surface
Pricing varies depending on model of submersible—anywhere from $350,000 to $1 million plus.
