DEEPFLIGHT MERLIN

DeepFlight Merlin is a three passenger open-cockpit submersible built custom for Sir Richard Branson.  Dubbed “Necker Nymph” and operated from Branson’s yacht “Necker Belle”, the Merlin is quick and agile due to its light weight, but limited in depth to that of standard SCUBA regulations.

SPECIFICATIONS

LENGTH: 4.6m
WIDTH: 3.0m
HEIGHT: 1.2m
CRUISE SPEED: 2-5 knots
MAXIMUM THRUST: 150kg
OPERATING DEPTH: SCUBA Limits
CREW: 3
LAUNCH WEIGHT: 750kg

DEEPFLIGHT SUPER FALCON

The Super Falcon represents the pinnacle of manned submersible technology. Designed to do barrel rolls with dolphins and spy-hop with whales, the DeepFlight Super Falcon will take you anywhere you want to go underwater, in style, safety, and comfort. Hawkes Ocean Technologies is currently taking orders for two and three-seat Super Falcons. 

SAFETY PARAMOUNT
Designed with safety as the number one criteria, all Super Falcon craft are subject to Hawkes Ocean Technologies’ stringent testing standards, and are proof-tested for safety. Unlike all conventional submersibles which use ballast to descend, DeepFlight Super Falcons are always positively buoyant — with auto return to the surface — providing unparalleled safety.

BUILT AROUND THE PILOT
Forget everything you know about submersibles: the Super Falcon with its low frontal area and lightweight proprietary pressure hull, is designed around the pilot.  Flying the Super Falcon is a radically different experience, connecting you to the blue space around you like never before.

COMMITTED TO ELECTRIC
With its high-efficiency brushless DC drivetrain and underwater lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack, the Super Falcon is fast, clean and quiet.  38V system voltage and low electric signature make the Super Falcon safe to operate around swimmers as well as any large marine animals you might encounter.
