More Information
Summary:A variable frontal area craft for performing drift measurements. The craft includes a variable frontal area mechanism and a propulsion assembly, and is configured to operate at least partially submerged in a liquid. The variable frontal area mechanism is configured to operate in a first, high frontal area state and in a second, low frontal area state. L'invention concerne une embarcation à zone frontale variable pour effectuer des mesures de dérive. L'embarcation comprend un mécanisme à zone frontale variable et un ensemble de propulsion, et est conçu pour fonctionner au moins partiellement immergé dans un liquide. Le mécanisme à zone frontale variable est conçu pour fonctionner dans un premier état à zone frontale haute et dans un second état à zone frontale basse.
