Underwater researchers will be interested in a less costly, more maneuverable glider that can be used in Lake Superior.
MTU Mechanical Engineering PhD Student Donna Fard said,
They are shallow–water gliders, meaning that we can use them in the lake. What we have so far, they’re all ocean–going gliders.
