The UNDERWATER drone: $765 gadget can submerge , float like a boat and fly through the air at 40mph

The world's first waterproof drone capable of submerging under water, floating like a boat and flying through the air at over 40mph (60kmh) has been unveiled by US engineers. The $765 (£585) gadget, known as Spry, features a built-in 4K camera that can both record video and snap photos on the fly. Footage is beamed back to a monitor embedded into a waterproof remote control, which the drone's developers claim is another world first for the drone industry. The world's first waterproof drone capable of submerging under water, floating like a boat and flying through the air at over 40mph (60kph) has been unveiled by US engineers SwellProUSA and Florida-based Urban Drones say it has taken two years of designing and prototyping to cross the line'between science fiction and reality by allowing users to fly and swim, something never before possible'. 'The Spry's ability to submerge under water and fly in the air makes it the most versatile drone ever created,' said Alex Rodriguez, Urban Drones' CEO.
