[PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS pressure hull
Last year i made a drawing of a pressure
hull. You can have a look at it at:
It is a very small single seater in which you can
sit "comfortly" in a volume of only 700 ltr. The construction is very simple. It
are 2 torispherical endcaps welded together. The intersection of the
endcaps and the conningtower is of course the critical part of
it.
I thought when you think of the position in
which 2 people sit on a scooter and you enlarge the diameter of the endcaps to
let's say 1500 mm you will have a compact double seater. Maybe use domes for the
viewports on both sides. Give the forward passenger a seat that can be lowered
so he can have a close look at the botom.
A buggy-seat might also be an idea for a more
conventional pressure hull shape.
