In 500 years, instead of Nostradamus, there will be tv specials about that amazing visionary; Irwin Allen.
I wonder if there's a similar military project someplace called "Tick Tock"
All aircraft are submersible, at least once. It's just that business of dredging them back to the surface that gets tricky.
C Palmer....
I was about to say that it's doable with a single-use vehicle.
An X-15 like vehicle carried by a B-52?
Mission Impossible 4?
If they would just let the water in, half of the challenge would disappear. The plane should get as heavy as possible to sink anyway.
It would be much easier for pilots to put on diving suits then to make the entire fuselage waterproof. And piston engines would be easier to dry after getting soaked, I think.
And how could I forget ?

Forget Irwin Allen, Gerry Anderson had the ultimate in land/sea/air/space vehicle back in the early 60's.
