You won't because it doesn't fucking exist because there was zero certification of the vehicle. There's no way for potential customers to verify any safety claims of the sub.
- stickfigure 3y agoThe sub was classified as experimental. That literally means "not certified". Everyone, including the people who signed the release forms, knew this. You can, today, buy any manner of uncertified experimental aircraft and fly them in general aviation. What is the surprise? Experimental vehicles are a thing. If you don't like them, don't fly/float on them.
- PepperdineG 3y ago>You can, today, buy any manner of uncertified experimental aircraft and fly them in general aviation. No you can't. Experimental aircraft have to get certified by the FAA.
- rtkwe 3y agoIn the US there's only really one category can carry a person and is unregulated and unlicensed by the FAA and that's Ultralights [0]. <254 lbs dry excluding safety and floatation devices, <5 gallons of fuel capacity, <55 knots and there are strict restrictions on when and where they can fly.
