Nezha-SeaDart: China tests air-sea hybrid drone with flight, dive capabilities | Nezha-SeaDart can vertically take off, land from ground and water, and cruise in the air with lift generated by the wings.


Chinese scientists have developed a groundbreaking hybrid aerial underwater vehicle capable of seamlessly transitioning between air and water.

Chinese scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) have recently made a significant breakthrough by creating a novel hybrid aerial underwater vehicle (HAUV) known as Nezha-SeaDart. The HAUV recently underwent a 10-day field test in China’s Thousand Islands Lake of Zhejiang Province, proving its ability to perform full cross-domain missions. These missions include observing ocean phenomena with high spatial and temporal variability in air and sea environments, such as boundary currents, upwelling, eddies, and fronts.
