Hello all . . .
A long time ago I designed retractable forward
planes for my sub-to-be. I've since lost the paperwork and I haven't for
the life of me been able to remember how I did it.
Does anyone know how the military boats do
it? I could sit down and design something new but I simply don't have the
time.
As I would like the planes withdrawn into the
hull like a Typhoon, and not just lifted up like a diesel
electric WWII fleet boat, I was thinking rack-and-pinion with a
solenoid but I'd like to keep the electrics to a minimum for obvious
reasons.
A lever actuated hydraulic (muscle powered) with a
long throw piston at the planes end might work.
Any thoughts? No doubt the answer is
ridiculously simple.
Rick
