Kronos: what a futuristic manta ray-inspired submarine looks like

Over the years, submarines have undergone only a few changes on an aesthetic level. However, this appears to be changing soon from Kronos is a new submarine model that mimics the shape of a manta ray..

The prototype was built by Highland Systems from the UAE. It can carry up to 10 people in addition to the pilot.. The most striking aspect of the submarine is its diamond shape, which has never been the case, at least not on military ships, which traditionally have an elongated cylinder shape.

The similarities regarding the stripes are not limited to just their design, because, like these, Kronos can fold its fins, in this case to make it easier to transport and reduce bulk..

“With its futuristic hydrodynamic design, it delivers high performance, exceptional efficiency and significantly reduces energy costs when diving,” its creators say.

Highland Systems explains that Kronos is designed to perform commercial, rescue and combat operations, as the case may be, so it is a multipurpose submarine.which is not typical for ships of this type.

In addition to all this, the submarine has a hull that Due to its design, it is able to reduce fuel consumption by creating less drag in the water, resulting in higher top speed and greater stability.which ultimately greatly improves its maneuverability.

Despite the fact that this is a relatively small submarine that can be transported on a trailer, its technical capabilities are, to put it mildly, exceptional.can travel nearly 50 miles per hour above water and 30 miles underwater. As for his work under water, it must be said that can operate safely at depths up to 328 feet with a maximum ceiling up to 820 feet.

Same way It has an air supply to stay underwater for up to 36 hours continuously..
