 Author(s)   Kinjiro Yoshida, Abderrahmane Nafa 
 Abstract   When a marine express is levitated or attracted at standstill and then propelled underwater, a pitching motion is caused inevitably due to a torque produced by thrust force around the center of gravity. In addition, some other disturbances such as the water flow or undersea currents may also cause this undesirable motion. In this paper, we will show that using an air-core electromagnet the pitching is actively and effectively damped in the highly unstable attractive mode, when the water buoyancy is larger than the vehicle’s weight, which is likely the case for a real marine express.
