Abstract:
1. An aircraft comprising: a fuselage of the aircraft; a vessel within the fuselage, wherein the vessel stores a pressurized gas compressed to a first density that allows the aircraft to become submerged under a body of water and to exit the body of water in response to the pressurized gas exiting an orifice of a nozzle in the fuselage, wherein the first density is around one gram per cubic centimeter, and wherein the vessel is pressurized to a first pressure from around 600 atmospheres to around 700 atmospheres, wherein the orifice of the nozzle has a diameter to provide a force created by a release of the pressurized gas through the orifice of the nozzle; and wherein different sections of the aircraft are capable of having different densities relative to a second density of a water; and a lift system to provide lift to the aircraft in an air so that the aircraft takes off into the air from under the body of water in response to the force.
