Looks good, Hank.

 

Alan's thought about the using the pod as further crew accommodation sounds good.  But it looks like only one or maybe two crew members will fit in it during escape.

I trust that the pod is of sufficient releasable ballast weight to account for its buoyancy that far aft.  Is such ballast even necessary? 

Perhaps you could mould the fairing around and attached to the pod, but also fitting snug against the main hull.  Upon release the pod along with the fairing detaches from the hull,  and the fairing is then jettisoned from the pod by the pilot using the same method that the pod was jettisoned from the main hull.

Thoughts?

Tim

Hi Alan,

The hatch has a 6 inch viewport so I can see the surface and the sub as I am leaving for the surface.

Hi Hank,

looking really good.

A thought I had was that you could put a downward facing viewport in your

escape pod so you could take an extra person. Make up a stretcher across the 

pod entrance so they can lie across it & look down. Or put a small person in it

with a side view port. 

If you had an appropriately placed view port you could see out when you escape

& hit the surface. Also you could signal out it with a torch.

Alan

Here is Gamma with the pod in place, the big ring is fitted and ready to weld in.  The ballast tanks can be lengthened giving  me more free board for shallower launches.  I can lengthen them and put the vertical thrusters between them still.  The Perry thrusters will be mounted under the front ballast tanks on jettisoning mounts.  I need to figure out how to make a cowl to go from the hull to the pod that will to interfere with the pod releasing from the sub.
