Abstract

Nowadays, an underwater glider being a new kind underwater vehicle which has no external propulsion system equipped on it. It's driven depending on buoyancy adjustment of itself and move horizontally wing. Underwater glider becomes more important especially in oceanographic and this project is concerned with the design and development an underwater glider using remote control (RC). This glider is designed by using a buoyancy control to make the glider become float and using an hydrodynamic concept. The main part of this an underwater glider consist of wings, tail, receiver and transmitter board, DC mota; fan and remote control. In development of underwater glider, its control system design plays an important role. This glider is controlled by using radio frequency (RF) with 4 channel. The remote control (RC) will control the movement of a glider and the DC motor will be used to rotate the fan. However, DC motor spins too fast and has too little torque to drive the loads. Thus, gear reduction is required to slow down the rotational speed and increase the torque of the motors.
