Abstract
This article describes an experimental prototype flying fish II and builds a dynamic model that is a novel type of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) under the condition of negative buoyancy vehicle (NBV) without large buoyancy mechanism. Compared with the AUV Remus100, the flying fish II can cruise with double speeds within the same range and dimensions. The static stability and motion modes of flying fish II in the longitudinal plane are analyzed through the linear system theory. The flying fish II has static stability in the longitudinal plane and the motion mode is related to metacentric height.
