EagleRay: amphibious drone can fly and fly
Design engineers from the University of North Carolina invented a rather interesting device. Working on the creation of drones capable of flying and swimming, the technicians decided to experiment - they made a symbiosis of the aircraft and the swimming apparatus. As a result, an amphibious drone called EagleRay conquered the Internet and managed to gain hundreds of thousands of fans.

In fact, the engineers did not make a scientific breakthrough. Hard wing designs of this kind are known to designers and innovators. However, experts assure that the use of solar panels for self-storage of electricity by amphibians was applied for the first time. In addition, before diving into the water, the drone does not fold its wings. Accordingly, a mobile device is able to emerge from the water and immediately gain height.
