| Minerva is a one-person propeller-driven submarine equipped
with pilot-in-the-loop automated pitch & yaw control. Counter-rotating
propellers will ensure the design speed of 6.5kts can be achieved. |
Silver medalist SeaBomb is a one-person non-propeller submarine,
propelled with four high-aspect ratio yawing, swaying foils, something like an
underwater four fish-drawn chariot! Equipped with a multi-beam sonar, semi-
automated control, and a novel hydraulic transmission system, she should be a
real contender on the submarine racing scene. |
All new Ronquil is still a concept craft. To be propelled by
a half-length undulating fin, and equipped with automated directional control,
she should be ready for the 2013 ISR.
