Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] thickness &
Ribs
Pretty simple question's
How thick does the hull have to be if my sub is 60 feet long and the
main cylinder part is 40 feet with a diameter of 8 feet?
Also i would like to be able to dive 350m and crush depth to be 500m
thats all, and would i need Ribs to support the inside of the sub?
Last, with this size what type of diesel engine would i need to go 25
knots on the surface and, an electric motor, how much kw or hp would i need to
go 8 knots underwater?
The shape is literally a cylinder with half spheres on each end. I know
these are a lot of questions but it is imperative I know
them, all of them.
And the abs excel sheet, does anyone know how to use it? It is very vague
on the instructions.
