ABSTRACT:
The method of constructing a hull for ocean profiling or gliding vehicles which reduce the energy required to make vertical excursions. Composite materials are used in constructing the hull, specifically a fiber reinforced matrix, wherein the choice of the fiber material and orientation allows a balance of strength and elastic properties optimized for oceanic profilers and gliders thereby allowing operations with minimum energy expenditure.
