A recent technological advancement has revolutionized the concept of traveling! China advances supersonic submarine project connecting Shanghai to San Francisco covering nearly 9,900km in less than two hours. On completion of this project China will achieve another milestone in the history of human civilization. Traveling at such fastest duration was a distant dream in the recent past but with the advancement of technology scientists have reached the zenith of prosperity.  A team of experts at the Harbin Institute of Technology’s Complex Flow and Heat Transfer Lab have developed a technology that makes a submarine or a torpedo travel at extremely high speeds underwater.

The team was dedicated to create the complicated air “bubble” required for rapid underwater travel. The Soviet military developed a technology called “Supercavitation” during the Cold War. To avoid problems caused by water drag this technology helps in enveloping a submerged vessel in an air bubble. A torpedo called Shakval was able to reach a speed of more than 370 kilometers using this technology, which is faster than the usual torpedoes.

Li Fengchen, professor of fluid machinery and engineering, said the team of Chinese scientists had found an innovative means to address problems like designing a submerged vessel to travel at high speeds to generate and maintain the air bubble with a rudder placed within it to avoid direct contact with water.

World tourism industry eagerly anticipates the launch of this awe-inspiring supersonic submarine!
