Underwater Gliders

Would that be, *Air Ballast*?

Oh, Motorgliders.

1960's? Guess they must have read some of the model plane magazines that were out in the 1950's.

Anybody other than me make an underwater glider from plastic models in the 50's? Most ended up as gliders, after you break the little props enough times. You can make an ROG from the bottom of the pool, circle up, then glide down. Lot's of fun. Never succeeded in making one air leak proof.

Amazing. And I thought soaring was dangerous . . .

I think it was a former astronaut who wrote a novel featuring a 'flying' submersable that used thermal currents and thermocline intefaces to soar around the ocean.

Geez, am I going need another expensive toy?
