Gadzooks! Ya’ll check out... the US Navy's Liberdade XRay at http://www.onr.navy.mil/media/extra/fact_sheets/advanced_underwater_glider.pdf
Love it!!
Very intereting. I’m surprised that the Xray is the world largest. The “glide” phase exploits a buoyant force, meaning that it powers down to depth, then glides UP, per penquin hydrodynamics...? Or does it glide DOWN, then powers back up?
My guess is the former..?
This has a HUGE future..!
