ABSTRACT:
An underwater vehicle with unconventional configuration is disclosed, wherein the lateral boundary of the vehicle is parallel to the straight moving direction of the vehicle. There is an internal passage tunnel disposed inside the vehicle, connecting the front end and the rear end of the vehicle. The front and rear openings of the tunnel extend to the entire cross section of the vehicle. Looking from the outside, the vehicle is like an elongated tube with very thin walls. In operation, the water in the front of the vehicle is transported to the rear of the vehicle exclusively through the internal passage tunnel. Very little disturbances will be imparted to the surrounding water. This vehicle is highly efficient even at high speeds, hence is extremely suitable for high speed and long range operations.
