The DeepFlight Dragon takes underwater flight to the next level by enabling you to both hover and fly. You take the controls. As the pilot in a boundless sea, you have the freedom to chart your own course and explore a piece of the planet no human has seen before.
Deepflight is targeting wealthy yacht owners who want easy and safe submarine adventures.
OPERATING DEPTH
120 meters (400 ft)
PAYLOAD
250 kg (550 lbs)
Inherent Safety
Like all DeepFlight craft, the Dragon has fixed positive buoyancy, meaning that it will always naturally float back to the surface. No variable ballast system, no drop weights, just pure, safe underwater exploration.
Simple to operate
The Dragon uniquely offers the DeepFlight Dive Manager (DDM), a proprietary technology that monitors and manages critical functions. The DDM allows you to pilot the Dragon with minimal training and provides the ability to set the depth limit on any particular dive.
Hover and Fly
The Dragon is the first DeepFlight craft to offer hovering capability, allowing complete freedom to cruise alongside big animals or stop and hover over ancient shipwrecks. Quad brushless DC thrusters and an underwater lithium battery pack give you quiet, efficient operation for up to 6 hours between charges
Fits most Yachts
At 1800 kg and only 5 meters in length, the Dragon is able to fit on more yachts than any other submarine on the market, with little or no retrofit required. Launches, recovers and stores just like your tender. We provide custom integration services, including a launch and recovery solution, inclusive with purchase.
