Boston, The experts of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have prepared such a sailboat, which can fly like a glider. The experts gave it the title of ‘Albatruce’. This is the interesting vehicle, which is made by the engineers of MIT, which flies in the air and also floats in the water. The robot glider advances with the 10 times more speed than the sailboat. The bio engineers helped to prepare it and it is prepared by keeping the flying of the sea bird, Albatruce.

The wings of these birds are spread to 12 feet and they are constant at the same place because of the special muscles and the bird can fly in even style. On the other side, the sailboat is advanced with the help of water and wind. When it fills the air in its cloth sail, then its power is transferred into water and the sailboat gets the pushing power onward.

The central frame of the glider has the weight of only 2.75 kilogram and the long wings like the bird, Albatruce are added with it and they have the length of 3 meters. There is curved oar under the boat, which is installed under the surfing board and it is dipped in the water. The robot glider has the GPS system, inertia measuring sensors, auto pilot system and ultrasound altimeter to measure the depth of the water.

When the wind is fast then the glider will start flying but in case of stopping of the air, the notch of the boats is sunk in the water and the sailboats starts moving forward with great speed. In this way, the sailboat moves forward 10 times more speed. It moves forward with the speed of 20 knot or 38 kilometer per hour speed. It is expected by making so much robots, a huge part of the sea can be surveyed, in which the climate change, weather research and other research works.
