is this real?

Simply not possible.

Is this really where we are in 2013? People literally can not tell the difference between what is and isn't possible on even the most basic of technologies?

Austin powers and 007 had underwater cars - there are car planes . . . seems reasonable that it is, in fact, possible.

wasn't it you that mentioned iron man tech becoming reality?

No. I said if Musk told us he was working on an Iron Man suit I would not be surprised. There is a difference. It that particular case it was a hyperbolic joke. The underwater launch of an air breathing engine powering a human carrying fighter is simply not possible with anything even remotely close to current technology.

Further, if it was, there sure as fuck wouldn't be video of it on YouTube before tech geeks knew about it and it also sure as fuck wouldn't look like an F-15.

I didn't realize it was carrying a pilot. How do you know it was? Looked automated as a drone to me.:):P

Also - the "air breathing engine" didn't kick on until out of the water, so . . . I still say it is possible to do that.

Come on.

It's clearly air breathing since there would be no reason for a rocket powered aircraft to have air inlets as this aircraft clearly does.

Even if there was some magical doors covering the air intakes before the craft breeched (so as not to damage the turbines), then opened once in clear air...have you ever watched a Otter spool up to start? How long does that take? How about any jet engine?

Again, simply not possible.

Rocket powered plane - duh!

It used jados until the spool up

Only used when rescuing hostages.:ph34r:

******Found a YouTube comment saying it was a video from a whale watching boat of a whale breaching, cut together with the plane....makes sense to me



That comment is incorrect. It was video of a submarine launched missle with the F-15 dubbed in.

Yes thanks we've covered that

With egg and mayo evidently.:D
