the basic question is how much energy does it take to compress the bouyancy fluid vs how much you can borrow on glide. if you arent in a hurry but still want distance made good, then maybe... using the compressed air for thrust before ascending is clever, i dont know if floating is fail safe if the compressed air leaks though. will need ground anchor if unattended
