UNDERWATER VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B63G8/00 

FIELD: vessels and other watercrafts.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater unmanned telemonitoring apparatus intended for inspection and technological operations carried out in water column. Underwater vehicle comprises body in the form of rectangular parallelepiped, buoyancy unit, process equipment and propellers installed on vertical rotary columns, vertical rotary columns are arranged in internal corners of body of underwater vehicle and are equipped with rotary horizontal drives, to which propellers are connected, at that, the underwater vehicle body has inside the recesses corresponding to the propulsors contours at their parking, besides, the vertical rotary columns are equipped with drives with the possibility of their rotation through the angle of at least 180°, and horizontal drives, to which propellers are attached, have the possibility of turning at least an angle ±90° from initial position corresponding to parking of propellers in niches inside underwater vehicle body.
