| Research Abstract |
In this research, ocean-going underwater glider with independently controllable main wings, named SOARER, was developed. The SOARER glider has high performance in motion capacity and is able to glide with a small gliding angle when the angle of incidence for the main wings and elevator, and position of the movable balance weight are set appropriately. SOARER will acquire a various kinds of useful ocean data continuously in the intermediate water.
