Hi everybody
I have found a very unusual Project from the Germans in 1945. It should be called the "MANTA"
It should be a Submarine-Catamaran-Glider designed by Hellmuth Walther.
Able to drive on land, drive at high speed on water and also to submerge .
SOME DATA
length: 15m, breadth: 6m , displacement: 50t
engine: 2x 800 PS Walterturbines
2x 25 PS Electric Engines
speed: 20kn with airfoils 50kn
30kn underwater
Crew: 2 crew members
Here is a Picture
Some more text here
Are there any other Pictures ?
Thanks in advance and many greetings
