This might sound silly, but try visualizing the interior of your car and then consider getting in/out through the sunroof. Hal On Thu, 25 April 2002, DBACKIDS@aol.com wrote
I am currently in the process of designing (no hopes yet of building, only design) a small two-man sub called the Manta, taking its name from the design similarity to the manta ray. My question is: would a seven foot diameter sphere be large enough to seat two people with a control system comfortably? (I'm quite sure five feet would be too small, but I don't envision spheres very well?they're such an awkward shape, lol)
