The pressure proof compartment is reinforced by steel inlays and is glued into the lower hull. At its heart is a reduction gear system which delivers power from the motors to the propellers so efficiently, there is no excessive strain on the motors, no rapid depletion of the motor battery, thus, reaching a running-time of up to 1,5 hours.Īll components are "made in Germany", including he hull unit and the pressure proof compartment which are made of glass fibre. This model of the Typhoon is powered by two electric motors, which propel twin brass 7-blade scimitar propellers. With a length of 1720 mm (68"), a width of 228 mm (9") and a displacement of 21/22,6 kg (emerged/submerged) this model is a real eye-catcher. Even at a scale of 1/100 the model appears bombastic and to some extend frightening. The Typhoon-Class has a length of about 172 meters and a crew of 150 men. These submarines are powered by two atomic reactors, each generating over 40,000 HP and reaching a maximum speed of 27 nautical knots.
