launch.





If you take on board that POLARIS/TRIDENT missiles are launch from

Nuclear Submarines from under water, Sky 1 is launched on the
same

principle, it could be feasible.





Neat observation, but
not the same thing. Polaris missiles are

protected inside the submarine until launched, and then their silo's
are

only flooded when launched near the surface. Sky 1 is constantly
hauled

about on the nose at great depths...everywhere that submarine goes.

Weight is the God of
aerospace design, and to make a plane capable

of withstanding those pressures and the corrosion of constant
salt water

immersion is impractical. It requires a heavy pressure hull to keep the
thing

from collapsing at depth.



It sure does look cool
though!
