Definitions
- Aircraft airborne platform including attitude correcting means and associated hitch
- the invention relates to an airborne platform or more generally to a towing device for an aircraft towed by the latter via a towing cable.
- trolling devices comprising measurement element support means for collecting valuable parameters in the fields of prospecting for natural resources or identifying underground voids.
- the field of geophysical mapping is currently in full development to better understand the evolution of the underground environment including hydrology. Finding water in desert areas is a growing need. Such discovery goes, for example, by the detection or identification of karst networks.
- a technique consists - according to a very simplified principle - of measuring the vertical and horizontal variations of the electrical resistivity of the subsoil.
- the principle consists in transmitting from an aerial transmitting antenna, such as a loop or a coil, electrical pulses towards the ground, more precisely of the subsoil, which one wishes to study. It is then created a primary magnetic field. Abrupt cutting of said primary magnetic field generates eddy currents, all the more intense as the formations present in said subsoil are conductive. These induced currents create, in turn, a secondary magnetic field. This field is measured by a receiving antenna, such as a coil or loop, and then analyzed to determine the resistivity of said formations present.
- Such an antenna comprises one or more transmitting and / or receiving waves of electromagnetic waves.
- the antenna is constituted by stowing an electrical conductor at the front of the aircraft - via extension means to move the driver away from the cockpit and thus extend the antenna perimeter - at the ends of the wings and at the rear of the fuselage. of the device.
