Design and Analysis of the High-Speed Underwater Glider with a Bladder-Type Buoyancy Engine
This study entailed the design and analysis of a 400 m class underwater glider operated by a bladder-type buoyancy engine. The underwater glider was designed for high-speed movement with a maximum velocity of 2 knots.

Dynamic modeling and three-dimensional motion simulation of a disk type underwater glider
Disk type underwater gliders are a new type of underwater gliders and they could glide in various directions by adjusting the internal structures, making a turnaround like conventional gliders unnecessary.
