Abstract
This article presents a preliminary study of determining the effect of the control parameters, shape and stiffness of the tail fin and the lateral fins on the thrust of the fifth version of polish biomimetic unmanned vehicle (BUV) called CyberFish. In the second paragraph the BUV’s construction and its rule of motion is shortly mentioned. The next paragraph presents results of thrust measurements and conclusions from conducted tests. Conclusion summarizes influence of control parameters, tail fin and lateral fins on the average thrust of the CyberFish.
