HIGH MANEUVERABILITY SUBMERSIBLE VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B63G8/16 B63H20/08 

FIELD: shipbuilding; building of submersible vehicles for study of sea depth.

SUBSTANCE: proposed submersible vehicle has hull and aft propulsion plant which includes two reversible cruise propulsors mounted in horizontal plane at angle to submersible vehicle axis on both sides from axis. Propulsion plant of submersible vehicle is additionally provided with rudder stock mounted in horizontal plane perpendicularly to longitudinal axis of submersible vehicle; rudder stock is provided with reversible drive for performing reciprocating motion relative to longitudinal axis. Reversible cruise propulsors are immovably mounted on rudder stock. Proposed submersible vehicle possesses high maneuverability in vertical plane (in depth) over entire range of working speeds which is necessary for passing round obstacles in conducting TV survey near water area bottom.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of control of submersible vehicle.
