Amazing FLIP ship - that inverts itself.
« on: December 13, 2013, 11:12:54 AM »
US Navy maintains a research vessel that is designed to be capsized vertically. As a result, most rooms on it have two doors: one to use when the ship is horizontal, another when vertical. "flip ship" that inverts itself to become a stable platform for scientific testing. That's amazing right... ;)
