🇮🇳 India’s Amphibious Drone Flies and Dives

🚁 India’s first amphibious drone ‘Avatar’ can fly like a quadcopter AND dive underwater! 🌊

A Bengaluru startup has developed a breakthrough drone that seamlessly transitions between air and water - perfect for maritime surveillance, underwater inspections, and ocean research.

The drone uses sonar-based navigation and corrosion-resistant materials to operate in harsh marine environments. Already successfully tested in open-water trials!
