# Streamlined Stingray Submarines The GhostManta Submersible Vehicle Works with Underwater Creatures By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-09-12 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostmanta-submersible-vehicle References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/ghostmanta-submersible-vehicle-to-document-marine-life-in-3d/) & [sebastiancampos](http://www.sebastiancampos.com/) There are several reasons why the GhostManta Submersible Vehicle has been designed to resemble a marine animal. They pertain to an aesthetic reference to its function, its effectiveness as a conveyance and its success at blending in with the oceanic ecosystem. The primary purpose of the [watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system) is to study life in the big blue by documenting the activities of the organisms that surround it. Having modeled their concept on the [manta ray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manta), Caan Yaylali and Sebastian Campos have conceived a vessel that would capably glide through the water with minimal work from the on-board motor and [water jet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kikfin). It would have a natural look about its swift movement below the surface for maximum efficiency and unthreatening grace. The GhostManta Submersible Vehicle would be equipped with a high definition 3D video recorder to capture an accurate picture of life in the sea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Biomimicry Submersibles:** Designing submersible vehicles that are modeled after marine animals to increase efficiency and blending with oceanic ecosystems. - **Underwater Creature Study:** Developing submersible vehicles with specialized high definition cameras for the documentation of marine mammals and other organisms in the big blue. - **Efficient Submarine Conveyance:** Creating streamlined and efficient submersible vehicles that require minimal work from their onboard motors and water jets for movement in the water. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Marine Biology:** Incorporating the use of biomimicry submersibles in marine research to improve the understanding of life in the sea. - **Oceanography:** Developing underwater vehicles that would enable scientists to study oceanic organisms at close range and in detail for research purposes. - **Underwater Exploration:** Creating efficient and effective underwater vehicles for exploration, salvage and rescue missions that are modeled after marine life for blending in with the aquatic surroundings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supercar-Inspired Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uboat-worx-super-sub.md) - [Personal Aquatic Scooter Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooter-concept.md) - [Aquatic Shark-Inspired Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterborne-drone.md) - [Aircraft-Like Hydrofoil Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoiler-sl3.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Intuitive Underwater Scuba Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surando-underwater-scooter.md) - [Compact Luxury Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-submersible.md) - [Arm-Attached Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooters.md) - [Water-Mapping Autonomous Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-vessel.md)
