Hawkes builds the DeepFlight range of submersibles, which uses hydrodynamic forces for diving, instead of ballast.Forbes, [https://blogs.forbes.com/face-to-face/2010/05/11/submarines-for-the-super-rich/ "Submarines For The Super-Rich"], Joumana Saad, 2010 May 11 (accessed 5 September 2010) The subs are all-electric.Reve, http://www.evwind.es/noticias.php?id_not=6921 "The Future of Electric A All or some of them have two pairs of wings like an airplane's, one pair front and the other pair rear, shorter than an airplane's and the other way up so they push the submarine down.
