English: Schematic providing overall dimensions of the Titan submersible designed and built by OceanGate. Titan is depicted in a side view, with the forward hatch to the left. The pressure hull consists of three major components: two hemispherical titanium end caps, joined to a cylindrical carbon fiber composite hull via titanium interface ...

The Titan was reportedly built with the help of a team of engineering consultants from Nasa’s Marshall Space Flight Center, who offered guidance during the development stage.
Titan's abrupt demise was apparently caused by the same deep-sea forces that make expeditions like it so rare. It's why fewer people have been to Titanic ocean depths than have been to space.
The innovative design of the Titan submersible may have led to its downfall, experts have said.. The elongated design of the sub combined with the repeated stress the hull faced over the years ...

Titan, previously named Cyclops 2, was a submersible created and operated by the American underwater-tourism company OceanGate. It was the first privately-owned submersible with a claimed maximum depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft), [ 2 ] and the first completed crewed submersible with a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials.
A piece of the Titan's carbon-fiber hull recovered after the submersible's deadly catastrophic implosion showed "anomalies," a National Transportation Safety Board engineer said Wednesday during a ...
