Innespace Seabreacher: A Speedboat, a Submarine, or an Airplane?

The Innespace Seabreacher is a 17-foot vessel that can dive into 50mph water like a submarine, sail across the surface like a speedboat, and aviate in the air like planes do.

This speedboat has a built-in 1500cc engine, a watertight cockpit and six fins — making it look like a dolphin. It also got some entertainment features such as a GPS, an iPod dock and speakers, LCD screens, and a digital periscope.
