Flying an underwater airplane —
The Super Falcon works differently than other submarines, using movable wings to navigate depths like an underwater airplane. Traditional submersibles are sinkers, taking in water to sink into the ocean.

Open cockpit —
The submarine's acrylic domes are designed be almost invisible once the Super Falcon is underwater, giving guests the sensation of "flying" in an open cockpit.

Exploring on land and under the sea —
