Chinese Scientists Say They’ve Found the Secret to Building the World’s Fastest Submarines The process uses lasers as a form of underwater propulsion to achieve not only stealth, but super-high underwater speeds that would rival jet aircraft.
The process uses lasers as a form of underwater propulsion to achieve not only stealth, but super-high underwater speeds that would rival jet aircraft.
The Harbin University engineers, led by researcher Ge Yang, believe this power could be used to give Chinese submarines and weapons a major advantage. In a wartime South China Sea scenario, a Chinese submarine might outrun its American adversary using laser propulsion, but like a speeding fire truck blaring its siren, it would be easy to track. The fact that the research was published in an open setting, where China’s rivals can read it, likely means the Chinese government believes it has little to no military value.
