  8. Propulsion • Early brainstorming sessions led to basic foundation of current propulsion design • Pilot in prone position, resting on two symmetrical 1 ¼” aluminum shafts braised to a t-bar underneath • The two shafts contain eight ft long aluminum pushrods that slide within • Pedalblock attached to t-bar, attached to pushrods by cable

  9. Control • Dive planes • Inspired by nature • NACA airfoil 0012 cut into blueboard with polystyrene wedged between and covered with fiberglass • 3/8 in threaded steel rod bent to 90 degrees and embedded in plane with epoxy resin • Rods enter the hull 1/3 from nose and below the midline • Rods attach to ½ in aluminum electrical conduit bent to 22 degrees to form a handlebar • Stabilizers • Design • 4 stabilizers fixed to the hull at the rear of the vessel, spaced at 90 degrees

  10. Life Support • VO2 max testing at University of Maryland for both pilots • Testing suggested 40 cubic ft tank sufficient to meet ISR regulations for each run • Submarine includes: • 63 cubic ft tank with octopus attachment • 13 cubic ft pony bottle with single regulator attachment
