Abstract
The prudential work arose from the empirical study of persisting fighters that are prone to be habituated perspicaciously on land and sky. This agenda provoked us to an articulation of redundant conceptual design of a camouflage craft which will be versatile to air and water. This aberrant propaganda has been evolved to occlude the problems faced by the fighter crafts in naval dominance operations and by the submarines which are demolished due to limited recant performance. An effective evaluation in design is made with CATIA having solicitous consideration of buoyancy principle, aerodynamic effects, structural fatigue, design criteria, and propulsion. This articulate approach evolved with the meticulous development of submersible fighter craft having feasibility of operation in both air and water standards. This concept of submersible craft bolsters the defense sector by means of hybrid performance of fighter crafts and submarines. Dual propulsion mode involving jet propulsion to match fighter performance in air standard and adaptable electric propulsion was considered for submersible operation. Feasible handlings of the craft enriched with versatile performance of control surface maneuvering in dual modes were modeled.
