Hi Lawrie,
It seems like you are seriously limiting your field
of vision with that design.
Your main view port is about 5 feet away &
their is a narrow angle of view,
In the K250s they can operate them with their
heads in the bow dome & get
a good panoramic view. Or in a lot of contemporary
subs you have a dome/hatch
& sit with your head permanently in
that.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] CAD options,
revised concept drawings...
Hi Jim, I would prefer AutoCad with all the add ons but it is too expensive
and the learning curve steep. I use TurboCad 15 but I think there is a
latter version out. It is good for 3D and it doesnt take too long to get the
hang of it.
Incidentally I did go back to the drawing board and took into account what
you said about stability. Not sure how this might work out but I have
pivoted the pilot's pressure vessel to the Cat section so that the pressure
hull would be uniform in shape and as strong as possible I suppose there
is tradeoffs with everything, anyway hope others like the new drawings and
perhaps draw some other ideas from them.
Appreciate the suggestions, will keep working away on
this concept...
