There's an underwater glider kind of semi-autonomous ROV too, looks more like a tropedo with abnormally huge fins.
I tried searching for articles on it, sadly, couldn't find any.
Couldnt this also be called a hydroplane. :headscratch:
Nope :P
"A hydroplane (or hydro, or thunderboat) is a fast motorboat, where the hull shape is such that at speed, the weight of the boat is supported by planing forces, rather than simple buoyancy."
This is a very fast submersible..
also for steeamlining
drag is a frictional force exerted by liquids and gases for reducing this force streamlining is used
read it from my science t.b.

Oh nice. I thought that as anwar sir called it a underwater airplane it could be also called a hydroplane, unfortunately that term already describes another water vehicle.
I don't understand the "plane" part in Aeroplane and Hydroplane. Aerofoils/Hydrofoils don't really have a plane surface. ???

"Plane" here refers to the way these vehicles move skimming the surface of the water. Like skipping stones on a pond :D
