The Folding Glider was a fictional two-seat folding wing glider and submersible developed by Q-Branch; the research and development division of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6). The vehicle appears in the 2021 James Bond film, No Time to Die.
History[]
The unidentified and highly compact glider was designed to descend from high altitude and fold into a submersible mode. Its long fuselage contained a bubble-canopy cockpit, where the two crewmen sat in tandem, and tapered into a v-tail and underwater propeller assembly. Its variable-geometry wings were capable of quickly folding in a scissor-like fashion for transport and diving; folding against the fuselage. The vehicle was utilized by Secret Intelligence Service operative, Nomi, and James Bond during their infiltration of The Poisoned Garden; where it was deployed from the cargo bay of a Royal Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III.[1]
