My line of thinking was that it would be a larger sub using this method for long distance traveling using minimum fuel. I was trying to figure out the folding wing issue also... nothing simple.

Andy,

Very interesting concept for a submersible.  The lower wing will give you some drag when traveling on the surface but that's mostly if your wanting to go really fast.  I'll plan to do a more complicated model of the trimaran sub that has retractable hydrofoils, for faster as well as smoother surface running.  There would need to be a gas or diesel engine in that model. The larger size of that model will also require me to design foldable wings.  I have three different mechanical ways to chose from so far, for folding the wings and wing tip soft or hard ballest tanks for trailerability.

Regards,

Brent
