Airborne platform for aircraft with corrective means of plate and associated hitch

The invention relates to an airborne platform, or more generally a device of trolling for aircraft, towed by a towing cable.

She specifically devices of drag with means media metrics to collect valuable parameters in the areas of exploration of natural resources or even identification of underground voids.

The field of geophysical mapping is currently booming in order to know better the evolution of the underground environment including hydrology. Find water in desert areas is especially a growing need. Such a discovery through, for example, the detection or identification of karst systems.

Similarly for the search for mineral resources located at medium depths, i.e. below three hundred meters of depth, or to identify oil or gas deposits.

Other needs have more recently been mapping research. Such needs are for non-limiting example, detection of empty underground to store resources or waste.

To deliver data in geophysical mapping, a technique is - a very simple principle - measure changes vertical and horizontal of the electrical resistivity of the basement. For this, the principle is to issue since a transmitting aerial antenna, such as a loop or coil, electrical impulses towards the ground, more precisely from the basement, you want to study. It then creates a primary magnetic field. A cut brutal said primary magnetic field generates eddy currents, more intense that the formations in the basement said are conductive. These induced currents, in turn, create a secondary magnetic field. This field is measured by a receiving antenna, such as a coil or loop, then analyzed to determine the resistivity of such formations.

To convey such on-site measures means, some manufacturers or operators equipped aircraft with electromagnetic antennas surrounding such aircraft. This antenna has one or more loops transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves. The antenna is made up by anchoring an electrical conductor at the front of the aircraft - via means Extenders to keep away the driver said of the cockpit and thus extend the perimeter of the antenna - to the ends of the wings and the rear of the fuselage of the aircraft. Thus, the antenna is essentially similar to a rhombus whose diagonals are defined by the wing and the fuselage of the aircraft. It is therefore necessary to use aircraft with a consistent scale to convey a sufficient antenna to collect field information, for example a type engined Bombardier Dash-7. The base of the antenna being substantially that of the plane that the vehicle, it is required - except to use complex calculations to take into account the impact of the antenna under the ground - to keep the camera perfectly flat when collecting the data. To maintain such substantially horizontal plate, a plane must move at a relatively high speed. In caed, the unit has a strong impact, that is to-say that it is 'the nose' as in the landing configuration. However, a high speed impacts the quality of measurements. Furthermore, the electrical conductors forming an antenna around the plane deform during flight, undulate and even create movements or vibrations making piloting such aircraft unpleasant or even dangerous, to the point of forcing an unexpected landing or fortune. In addition, use a full-size aircraft results in high operating and maintenance costs, costs exacerbated also by a mounting complex and long antenna around the device.

To try to get around these drawbacks, a substantially circular antenna, or to the less circular by segments, was designed to be airlifted and thus conveyed on site by a helicopter. The resulting area of such an antenna can be clearly greater than an antenna around a plane. Indeed, the dimensions of such antenna are more dependent on directly from the aircraft. It thus becomes possible to establish one or more concentric, coplanar antennas, cooperating with the distal parts of a plurality of shrouds much of the same length which the proximal parts are attached and connected to a winch of a helicopter safety then conveying the resulting structure. One or more electric cables connect the antenna to a calculator embedded in the device. The circumference of the antenna being increased, the scanning of a site is so optimized, requiring fewer passes with a circle plane of an antenna. In addition, the collection of measures can be done at reduced speed. Such a solution yet raises many drawbacks obérant the quality of the treatment measures collected and now high operation and maintenance costs. Indeed, the editing of such a structure remains complex and requires a large area of Assembly. A helicopter has also reduced in the light of that of an aircraft, while presenting a consumer fuel high. The sweep of an extended site remains time-consuming and imperfect. Moreover, a major drawback lies in the fact the structure 'antenna (guyed (s)' moves such a pendulum whose repeated and random oscillations make the plate of the fluctuating measurement device. To try to correct or mitigate the inevitable phenomenon of balance in the treatment of the collected measures, is used generally to a plurality of sensors disposed along the circumference of the aerial structure. However, despite increased computational complexity, or cards of such treatment of collected measurements results are unreliable and usable.

Furthermore, the electromagnetic waves reflected and captured by a receiving antenna conveyed by the aircraft, in the form of a circle plane or helicopter, reflect again on Struts or the fuselage on the wing or according to the aircraft's rotor blades. These subsequent reflections strongly alter the relevance of the collected measures.

There is therefore not far from effective and economic solutions to move in the air support of antenna of large circumferences, i.e. whose resulting area is greater than several hundred, or even thousands, of meters square, following a stable and fixed plate.

The invention enables to meet most of the drawbacks raised by known solutions.

Inspired by the technique of coupling of banners towed by small aircraft, light and economic, particularly in terms of those circled of electromagnetic loops, the invention relates to a coupling with an aircraft, a tow cable and a device of train, aircraft towing towing cable device of trolling through the.

Techniques of Hung to an advertising banner after take-off of a light aircraft are controlled. However, dimensions, usually tens of square meters, with an advertising banner are much lower than those of the ways media of an antenna arranged to collect geophysical data. In addition, an advertising banner is towed a plan substantially vertical and possibly fluctuating during the flight. So far, such a technical teaching was never considered to be operated in the field of aerial action collection. This teaching is indeed unknown or clearly considered not transposable and inappropriate in the State to tow a large antenna, in addition, to observe a stable, including horizontal plate during a measurement campaign. The invention allows to overcome these prejudices providing including hitch automatic corrective means of plate means hung in midair males and females new and particularly astute. An electrical connection between towed means of action and the aircraft can also be provided via said means of hanging in midair.

Among the many benefits brought about by the invention, we can mention that it allows:

-to hang an antenna of very large dimensions, for example of several hundreds or thousands of square meters, on a light aircraft after take-off of such aircraft;

connect automatically when the grip in midair with a trolling device, an antenna, or more generally any sensor conveyed by the device of train to a calculator embedded in the tractor aircraft.

to match very simply on ways media including packaging and deployment are particularly wealthy, one or more sensors measure, greatly limiting the costs of Assembly and handling of a trolling device according to the invention, i.e. from ten to twenty times cheaper than the State of the art in terms of materials and required personnel;

connect electrically and automatically as soon as the snap of a trolling device according to the invention to a tow cable towed by an aircraft in flight, the device of trolling, so eventually all sensor conveyed by the device, to a calculator embedded in the aircraft.

connect electrically a trolling device presenting a substantially vertical plate, such as non-limiting examples an advertising banner, to an aircraft to order ways to display or to collect measures issued by present sensors on the device of train, in order notably to a hydrological prospecting;

to focus on a sober, light aircraft from the energy point of view and large radius of action, to minimize the time required to scan a site while minimizing the costs of such a mission.

to collect by an electromagnetic loop maintained perfectly vertical near a rocky barrier of the valuable measures of precision, in a hydrogeological prospecting for example or model landslides;

to collect by using an electromagnetic loop maintained perfectly horizontal valuable measures of precision, for example during a prospecting natural resources or identify underground voids;

to avoid any complex calculation, or any alteration of the raw data collected, to correct a fluctuating base of sensors according to the prior art thanks to the action of corrective means of plate of a device to train according to the invention;

to remove any negative influence of the aircraft tractor on the data collected by a device behind the invention with a 1 ' distance from the sensors to measure, including antennas sending and receiving electromagnetic waves, said aircraft, the latter towing the device of trolling to several tens of meters behind him;

to delete one of the downsides of major known solutions whereby a carrier aircraft interacts or interferes with an airborne antenna obérant thus the ability of measures of multiple such aircraft and requiring so a plurality of passages of aircraft equipped with different sensors, allowing to simultaneously convey a plurality of sensors by means of trolling, boosting the quality, quantity and variety of measures collected during a single flight so factoring journeys of the towing aircraft and therefore reducing the duration and the cost of a mission of sweeping a site of interest.

For this purpose, the invention relates to a trolling device with:

female grip means arranged to cooperate with means of Hung male distal part of a tow for aircraft cable,

-a mast of cooperating with the means of hanging female, traction

means flexible support significantly plans when they are deployed, such means brackets with fixing means to cooperate with traction mast said.

To ensure such measures geophysical campaigns, or more generally to automatically control the plate of the ways towed media, such a device of train includes also the corrective means of plate positioned between female ways of hanging and traction mast, said corrective means of plate now automatically means media according to a plate when the device of train is pulled by an aircraft.

Depending on whether you want to use a device according to the invention to take measures geophysical along rock walls or even to conduct advertising campaigns, the fixed plate can be substantially vertical. In these cases, the corrective means of plate can be advantageously a corrector mast, cooperating with the mast of traction through a plurality of shrouds of coplanar traction which the respective proximal parties cooperate with the corrector mast and the respective distal parts cooperate with traction mast, the lengths of respective said shrouds of traction and their respective points of cooperation with such masts describe axial symmetry according to a common such masts mediator.

Alternatively, especially to convey perfectly horizontal measures sensors, the plate determined means media can be substantially horizontal. Then, the corrective means of plate can advantageously consist of a corrective mast which each end cooperates with:

the two ends of the mast of traction by first Struts of traction of the first same length,

the central part of the mast of traction by second Struts of traction of a second same length.

Whatever the fixed plate, the corrective means of plate can be advantageously arranged so that the corrector mast cooperates with the means of hanging female by Hung Struts which the distal ends respectively cooperate with the corrector mast, the proximal ends of such being gathered shrouds and cooperating each other with the distal part of a rope hanging including the proximal cooperates with female ways of hanging.

The corrective methods for plate according to the invention may in addition allow to set the relative altitude of the ways media under the towing cable. For non-limiting example, the respective lengths of the Hung shrouds may be mutually determined for the corrector mast is automatically positioned and then maintained vertical when the device of train is pulled by an aircraft. Furthermore, the respective lengths of the grip shrouds may also be determined to set an altitude relative to the longitudinal axis of the ways media compared to that of the distal part of the hanging cable.

To facilitate Assembly and maintenance of a trolling device according to the invention, the corrector mast may consist of a tubular hollow with openings. The Hung shrouds may also consist in a same line cooperating with the corrector mast via such openings, the respective lengths of the shrouds hung thus formed being determined by knotting the rope or by means race limiters. The mast of traction may also consist of a tubular structure hollow with openings. The shrouds of traction can consist of a same line cooperating with such masts via such openings, the respective lengths of the shrouds of traction thus formed being determined by knotting the rope or ways race limiters.

To promote a flat plate and remove the undulations of the ways media during flight, the means media can be advantageously in an aerodynamic damper micro-perforated fabric. How brackets may also include ways dampers positioned in contrast to traction mast, said means shock absorbers with a micro-perforated structure.

To achieve action campaigns, for example, geophysical, how media can convey a measuring element consisting of an antenna in the form of one or more loops arranged to emit electromagnetic signals. Said means media can also convey a part of measure consisting of one or more sensors or probes.

To ensure a wired electrical communication between the tractor aircraft and a measuring element conveyed by the device of train, the measuring element may be connected to a wired communication bus that the proximal part cooperates with the female hangs means in the form of one or more electrical connectors.

Trolling device to collect measures, means media can convey an antenna to receive electromagnetic signals. Alternatively or in addition, the corrective means of plate can convey an antenna to receive electromagnetic signals.

To ensure communication between the aircraft and an antenna to receive electromagnetic signals, the antenna being conveyed by the trolling device, said it can be advantageously connected to a wired communication bus that the proximal part has one or more electrical connectors and cooperates with the means of female grip.

To convey a such wired communication bus, the hanging cable can advantageously encircle the proximal part of the communication bus. As an alternative, said cable hung may consist of a fibrous structure, the proximal part of the communication being interlaced with the fibers of the said bus cable.

To allow the attachment of the device of trolling by Lacrosse to a tow cable, the means of hanging female can advantageously have a conical element hollow. The external wall of the tapered member of the female hangs means may in addition include a scabbard arranged to receive the end or head of the proximal proximal part of the cable hung, the party being arranged in the form of a closed loop.

Alternatively, the means of hanging female may have a member in chevron with two slips and a scabbard arranged to receive the end or head of the proximal part of the cable hanging, that proximal part being arranged in the form of a closed loop, such slips cooperating with said scabbard.

To provide an electrical connection, electric connectors can advantageously lead wall internal said chevron Member slips, this last being dielectric.

In addition, female ways of hanging can also include ways to attached to a voltage cable.

Alternatively or in addition, the means of hanging female can include electrical connectors leading to the inner wall of the conical element, the latter being dielectric.

To use a trolling device according to the invention, the latter is also a cable towing aircraft for the distal part is adapted to include male ways to hook in the form of a plate, arranged to cooperate with the means of hanging females of such trolling device.

To ensure electrical communication from the aircraft with a device to train according to the invention, Platinum said can be advantageously conical with electrical connectors leading to the dielectric external wall of the said Platinum, said electrical connectors consisting of the distal part of a communication bus conveyed by such cable tow. Such electrical connectors may be respectively in rings concentric disj anointed.

In a second embodiment, the means of Hung male cable to tow the invention can include in addition a Lacrosse mobile mounted on the distal part of the towing cable. They also have a talon mounted fixed to the distal end of that part of the towing cable. According to one such arrangement, the plate can be advantageously a member in chevron, with two sheets of which the top is fixed Lacrosse so that the heel can slide in the plate under the action of the traction of the towing cable up to support against the internal of the Platinum said Summit.

According to a third embodiment, said means hung males can have a Lacrosse mobile mounted on the distal part of the towing cable and a heel mounted fixed to the end of the said part distal to the towing cable. The plate may be a member in chevron with two sheets which the outside top is the butts of so the heel can slide in the plate under the action of the traction of the towing cable up to support against the internal said Summit Platinum.

According to these last two modes of implementation, to ensure an electrical connection, the plate may include electrical connectors leading of the dielectric external wall of Platinum said slips, said electrical connectors consisting of the distal part of a communication bus conveyed by such cable towing.

To prevent any risk of mechanical or electrical failures during the phase of hanging of a device of train to an aircraft, means of Hung male according to the invention towing cable can be advantageously means shock absorbers to snap. They absorb some of the pulling force of the towing cable when cooperation between the respective means of Hung of the dragging device and said cable tow.

Such means can be advantageously in a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder whose cylinder is mounted fixed on the heel of ways to hook males according to such shock absorbers to snap second and third mode of production. The piston can then be mounted fixed average said Hung male lacrosse.

To control or regulate the absorption capacity of the cylinder and reduce the weight of the device lagging behind in flight, the cylinder of the cylinder can be previously filled with a fluid. In addition, the cylinder can have one or more openings through which the compressed fluid is expelled under the action of the piston.

Also disclosed all hitch with an aircraft, a tow cable and a trolling device, the aircraft towing the device of trolling through the towing cable, the male of the towing cable grip means cooperating with the means of hanging female said trolling device, said means of Hung male and female being consistent with the invention.

In addition, the aircraft can have a calculator to generate and interpret electromagnetic signals, said signals being sent by communication bus, issued and received by a measuring element conveyed by the trolling device.

Finally disclosed a new hanging area allowing the hanging of a trolling device according to the invention by an aircraft in flight. When the proximal part of a rope hung said trolling device forms a closed loop whose head cooperates with the means of hanging female said trolling device, such an area of snap has three poles mutually positioned to form a triangle. Two poles form the basis of that triangle have ties or guides for cooperation respectively with the strands of the proximal part of the hanging cable. The post constituting the apex of the triangle cooperates Meanwhile with the proximal end of the power cable.

-figure 8 describes the cooperation between male and female ways of hanging after stowage of a device to train to a cable towing according to 1 ' invention.

The figure describes it a simplified representation of a hitch according to the invention for which a P aircraft, for example a plane planned to tow a banner advertising, trailer via a 60 tow cable, long of several tens of meters, a train 1 in a first embodiment of the invention. Such a device has mainly means supports 30 significantly plans after deployment, conveying a 31 sensor, for example a transmitting antenna of electromagnetic waves. In order to collect relevant geophysical measures, such a train device 1 has the corrective means to base 10 arranged to maintain ways media 30 according to a substantially constant and horizontal plate. Such means 10 will be described more precisely according to one embodiment preferred in relation to figures 3A to 3 c.

In the same way, lb figure shows a simplified representation of a hitch according to the invention for which a P aircraft, such as for example a plane planned to tow a banner advertising, trailer via a cable towing 60, long of several tens of meters, a device to train 1 according to a second embodiment of the invention. Like previous trolling device, the device according to the lb figure mainly comprises means supports 30 significantly plans after deployment, conveying a 31 sensor, for example a transmitting antenna of electromagnetic waves. In order to collect measures relevant geophysical along a rocky barrier, for example, such a train device 1 has the corrective means to base 10 arranged to maintain ways media 30 according to a substantially constant and vertical plate. Such means 10 will be described more precisely according to one embodiment preferred in connection with figure 4.

These two embodiments of a hitch according to the invention can prevent all interactions or implications of the P aircraft on the measures collected by means of measures 31 present on how media 30, because these funds are pulled by said aircraft to several tens of metres behind him.

Figure 2 to further describe a train device 1 according to the invention.

The latter comprises means of hanging female 40, arranged to cooperate with (or stock) means of Hung male distal part of a tow rope for aircraft, not shown in figure 2.

Such a train device 1 comprises means flexible media 30 significantly plans when they are deployed. 30 How can advantageously consist of a fabric, or even a blend of fabrics advantageously micro-perforated (s). This type of material is used to form the main body of certain towed advertising banners. Given the size of ways media towed 30, ranging up to hundreds of square meters, such cloth will be selected to present a number of characteristics, among which we can mention in a non-exhaustive way, great resistance to stretching and laid out so that means structure supports 30 faseyent little or not during the flight. Preferably, will be used in a fabric providing an aerodynamic damper function. The configuration of the used media 30 described below is substantially that of a quadrilateral, including a rectangle. However, 30 could just as well describe other Planar geometric shapes, such as a disk, a triangle, etc.

In connection with figure 2, means media 30 describe a plan rectangle, between forty to sixty metres in length and a width of 15 to 25 meters, including the part proximal 30 p cooperates with a traction mast 20. The length of such traction mat is substantially that of the width of the leading edge of the proximal 30 p of the ways media 30. For example, the part proximal may include a series of openings advantageously strengthened, for example, the metal eyelets. Similarly, the traction mat 20 can be a cylindrical structure hollow, advantageously to ovoid cross-section, biconvex symmetrical to present a trailing edge tapered, with openings in the openings of the proximal part of the mirror support 30 c so that 21 ties, such as strings or cables, stow the mast of traction to the said part proximal 30 p of the ways media 30. Alternatively, the mast of traction can be full and key rings in which researchers cooperate. The means of attachment 21 can also consist of a single line, winding, such a shoelace, opening of the mast of an opening of the proximal traction 30 p of the ways media. According to a third embodiment, the proximal 30 p of the ways media includes a sheath designed to accommodate such traction mast 20. Any cooperation with the proximal part of the ways media 30 could also be envisaged. During storage or packaging of the device behind the invention, means 30 brackets can be rolled, folded, ferlés to reduce clutter. Where means support 30 would part proximal 30 p including the leading edge is curved or in ' < ', traction mast 20 may present an also curved shape or in ' <. Alternatively, the mast of traction can remain substantially in the form of a straight cylinder. In this case, 21 officers liaise between the means media 30 and said traction mast 20 so that the longitudinal axis of the ways media 30 is confused with the Mediatrix of the traction mat 20.

To maintain, after hanging from the train to an aircraft through a device cable hanging with a stick, corresponding means of male hanging, a stable and predetermined to a device of trolling plate 1 according to the invention, it comprises advantageously means corrective attitude 10 cooperating with the mast of traction 20 and s ' intercalating with means of hanging female 40. We will consider more in detail the layout of such means corrector plate including in relation to figures 3A to 3 c and 4. Said means corrective 10 advantageously have a mast corrector 11, substantially cylindrical structure may be identical or similar to the mast of traction. The corrective means to base 10 cooperate according to a wired connection with the traction mat 20 using a plurality of shrouds of traction 12A, 12B. The corrector mast 11, meanwhile, advantageously cooperates with the means of hanging females 40 according to a wired connection through one or more shrouds hung 13A. According to the example described in connection with figure 2, a receiving antenna of electromagnetic waves can be positioned within the mesh of the shrouds of traction 12A and 12B. It can also be attached to the corrective means 10 by any other means. Alternatively, it could be conveyed through media like air 31 30. These can also convey a plurality of transmitting and/or receiving antennas 31A, 31B or even to other sensors measure 32 as for example, not exhaustively, the altimeters or altimeters to complete a measurement campaign. Said 31, 32 sensors may be attached by all means on the sides higher or lower of the ways media 30, for example, by sewing, gluing, crimping, etc. 31 antenna may also be conductive fibers woven among other non conductive fibers, these latest constituting, however, means 30 media. It may also consist of one or more strips of metal conductor, such as but not limited aluminum, laminated on how media 30. Of such strips, preferably low thicknesses, lighten the weight of the structure.

According to figure 2, said means support 30, specifically the part distal 30 d of these, can cooperate with one or more trails 30A, for non-limiting example, in the form of one or more triangles. This or these hanging 30A may be attached to the part distal 30 d by all means such as advantageously and not limited points of sewing or fasteners. Alternatively, the distal part of the ways media 30 and the trails can consist of a single entity. Advantageously, a 30a train may include or consist of one or several micro-perforated fabrics or any other material with characteristics of aerodynamic damper. The device of train faseye less under the function of a 30a train. According to one embodiment preferred, the main fabric which means media 30 is particularly light. It may have a surface mass of the order of 0, 50 g/m2 to 0, 80 g/m2' may also be micro-perforated with perforations of the order from 0.20 mm to 0,40 mm. It is same for the fabric of a 30A train. Its surface mass may be similar to that of the main fabric. Such tissue may be micro-perforated the performations of which are for example the order of 0.30 mm to 0.50 mm. The weight of a trolling device is particularly low in terms of its dimensions. This allows gives a guarantee of safety, including an overview of inhabited areas, and will penalise not the aircraft flight capabilities.

Figures 3A, 3B and 3 c to detail a way of realization preferred corrective means to base 10 of a trolling device according to the invention. Figure 3A depicts said means when the train is on the ground, waiting to be hung on a per aircraft On the other hand, figures 3B and 3 c, respectively the views in Outlook and longitudinal section, describe the same means when the trolling device 1 is towed by an aircraft P. The arrangement described by these figures 3A to 3 c is such that the means supports 30, and consequently the sensors (not represented on the aforementioned figures) describe a stable, horizontal base.

In this embodiment, means supports are substantially rectangular part proximal 30 p presents a substantially straight edge. This leading edge cooperates with a substantially cylindrical traction 20 pole whose length is substantially identical to that of the leading edge said. According to figure 3, 21 ties anchoring means traction mast brackets 30 advantageously consist of a single line "lacing" both 20 and 30, the ends of said line being knotted at the end 20i of the traction mat 20 respectively. The latter can be profiled, i.e. introduce an ovoid section facilitate its penetration into the air. The corrective means to base 10 include a corrector mast 11 whose configurations are similar to those of the mast of traction. Such corrective mast 11 may be cylindrical and its cross section can be profiled to facilitate its penetration into the air. Each lli end cooperates with both ends 20i of the traction mat 20 by first Struts of traction 12A of the same first L12a length. Each end of the corrector mast lli lli is also working with the central part 20 c of the traction mat 20 per second Struts of traction 12 b of the same second length L12b. The first fixed length L12a is represented schematically by "/" affixed to the 12A shrouds. In the same way the second length L12b is represented schematically by a double ' / ' stamped on the shrouds 12B.

The corrector mast 11 cooperates with female ways of hanging (non-represented in figures 3A, 3B, and 3 c) by a plurality of Hung shrouds. For example, in connection with the said figures 3A to 3 c, five shrouds hung 13A, 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13th with distal respective 13ad, 13bd, 13cd, 13dd and 13ed ends cooperation respectively with the corrector mast 11: according to this example, along this last, since its lli to his part ends central 11(c). The proximal 13ap, 13bp, 13cp, 13dp and 13ep of shrouds hung such ends are advantageously together at a point 14 d and cooperate mutually with the part distal 14 d of a rope hung 14, including the part proximal 14 p cooperates with the means of hanging female. Respective lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e of the shrouds hung 13A, 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13 are mutually determined for the corrector mast 11 is automatically positioned then maintained vertical when the device of train is pulled by an aircraft, as shown in figures 3B and 3 c. To promote the vertical positioning of the corrector mast, can advantageously be a ballast. One of the lli ends can be increased in the light of the second end. If the corrector mast 11 is hollow, ballast can also be mounted mobile breast said mast to automatically position themselves near the lower end of lli. The functional contribution of the shrouds hung arranged according to the invention allows to strongly reduce the weight necessary audit ballast.

Moreover, respective lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d, and the shrouds hung L13e are determined to set a given relative altitude A30 of the longitudinal axis of the ways media 30 compared to the distal part 14 d of the cable hung 14, according to the side view described by figure 3 c. This makes it possible to maintain the media 30 into a vein of air created by the relative wind generated by the device of train traction. So the average of such altitude is particularly stabilized.

Indeed, if the lengths of the Hung shrouds are such that they describe a symmetry according to the mediator of the 11 pole, altitude A30 is zero. However, as shown figure 3 c, if such lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e are such that the 13a strut is the shortest, and the lengths of the shrouds 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13 are growing, so the altitude of 30 means is lower than that of the hanging cable 14. You can accordingly adjust the relative altitude of the longitudinal axis of the ways media 30 compared to the distal part 14 d of the hanging cable 14, while now said mast 11 substantially vertical.

Given laps respective L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e of the shrouds hung as well as those L12a and L12b the shrouds of traction, under the action of the traction of the P aircraft, the corrector mast 11 stands in a vertical position automatically and the traction mat is placed in a horizontal position, also automatically according to a plate whose relative altitude A30 in the cable hooked , so the cable tow and consequently of the P aircraft, is determined.

Like 21 ties, hung the shrouds and/or the shrouds of traction can be a string or separate cables. They can also consist of a single line of Hung 13 or one single line of traction 12, such ropes cooperating with the corrector mast or mast traction 20 via openings in the Poles, the latter being hollow tubular structures, or even with hooks (or rings) protruding. Respective lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d, L13e hung 13A, 13B, 13 c, 13d, 13th the shrouds and/or L12a and traction 12A and 12B Struts L12b lengths can be precisely determined by knotting 13 and 12 ropes or by the use of limiters race positioned on the ropes said. According to the example described in relation to figures 3A to 3 c, the length of the mast of traction is of the order of twenty meters. The corrector mast can be shorter, for example of the order of four to six metres. All other dimensions may be chosen according to the size of the ways media 30 you want to tow.

Figure 4 to detail a second realization mode preferred corrective means to base 10 of a trolling device according to the invention. Figure 4 describes a combination of coupling, including 30 media and as a result the car sensors (not shown on the said figure 4) are stable, vertical plate. In this embodiment, said means supports 30 are substantially rectangular and their part proximal 30 p presents a substantially straight edge. This leading edge consists of a transverse sheath, in which is inserted a pole pulling 20, substantially cylindrical, whose length is substantially identical to that of leading edge said. Alternatively, as in the example described in connection with figure 3A, said 20 traction mast could cooperate with the leading edge 30 p by a connection 21, advantageously single line "lacing" the two elements of 20 and 30. Said rope ends are knotted at 20i of the traction mat 20 ends respectively. The latter can be profiled, i.e. introduce an ovoid section facilitate its penetration into the air.

The corrective means to base 10 include a corrector mast 11 whose configuration is similar to the traction mat 20. It can be cylindrical and its cross section can be profiled to facilitate its penetration into the air. The corrector mast 11 cooperates through a plurality of shrouds of traction coplanar 12A, 12B, 12 c, 12d, 12th, 12th ', 12d', 12 c, 12 b ', 12' with traction mast 20, through appropriate openings in the scabbard 30 p. Parties distal respective shrouds of such cooperate with the corrector mast 11 and the respective proximal parties cooperate with the traction mat 20. The lengths of respective said shrouds of traction and their respective points of cooperation with such mats 11 and 20 describe axial symmetry according to a mediator M common such masts. Thus the lengths L12a, L12b, L12c, L12d, and L12e Struts traction 12A, 12B, 12 c, 12d and 12th are respectively equal to lengths L12a', L12b', L12c', L12d' and L12e 'Struts of traction 12 a', 12 b ", 12 c, 12d 'and 12'. According to a favorite configuration example, 20 traction mast and mast corrector 11 have respective lengths of 20 meters and five meters. 20 and 11 poles are so aligned, Parallels.

Like the way described in relation to figures 3A, 3B and 3 c, the corrector mast 11 cooperates with means of hanging female (non-represented on figure 4) by a plurality of shrouds hung. For example, in connection with figure 4, five shrouds hung 13A, 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13th which the respective distal ends 13ad, 13bd, 13cd, 13dd and 13ed cooperate respectively with the corrector mast 11 along the latter, i.e. between its ends lli. The proximal 13ap, 13bp, 13cp, 13dp and 13ep of shrouds hung such ends are advantageously together at a point 14 d and cooperate mutually with the part distal 14 d of a rope hung 14, including the part proximal 14 p cooperates with the means of hanging female. Respective lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e of the shrouds hung 13A, 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13 are mutually determined for the corrector mast 11 is automatically positioned then maintained vertical, when the device of train is pulled by an aircraft P, as shown in figure 4. In addition, such lengths respective L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e said Hung shrouds are determined to set a given relative altitude A30 of the longitudinal axis of the ways media 30, i.e. the mediator M, compared to the distal part 14 d of the hanging cable 14 as indicated the side view described by figure 4.

Indeed, if the lengths of the Hung shrouds were determined so that the latter describe a symmetry according to the mediator the pole 11 M, the A30 altitude would be zero. On the other hand, as illustrated figure 4, if the lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e are such as the strut 13A is the shortest and the lengths of the shrouds 13B, 13 c, 13d and 13 are growing, then the average altitude means supports 30, i.e. the mediator M, is lower than that of the hanging cable 14. Can therefore set the relative altitude of the longitudinal axis of the ways media 30 compared to the distal part 14 d of the hanging cable 14, while now said mast 11 substantially vertical.

Taking into account the respective lengths L13a, L13b, L13c, L13d and L13e of the shrouds hung as well as those L12a, L12b, L12c, L12d, L12e, L12e ', L12d', L12c, L12b', L12a' Struts traction, under the action of pulling the aircraft P, the corrector mast 11 stands in a vertical position automatically. The traction mat is placed also automatically in vertical position according to a plate whose relative altitude A30 under the cable hooked up, so the cable tow and as a result of the aircraft P, is determined. As indicated for example figure 4, a 34 antenna, or more generally a sensor, can be advantageously anchored to the shrouds of traction.

Figure 5 schematizes a novel area of hanging a trolling device 1 according to the invention. As a simplification, only the proximal part 14 p of the cable hung 14 is represented. It consists of a loop from a point 14f. The end or head of the loop 14 p cooperates with the means of hanging 40. As described for example and in full detail by figure 6a, these can be advantageously a hollow conical element 43 43rd outer wall has a scabbard 44, arranged to receive the end or head of the part proximal 14 p of the hanging cable 14. Alternatively, these means of hanging female can be arranged according to a second example, shown in figure 6 c, whereby a scabbard 44 cooperates with Member 43 in chevron with two lateral slips 43A and 43B, advantageously trapezoidal. Such means of hanging female 40 are especially designed to accommodate a stick, such as for example the lacrosse or spur 58 has means of Hung male 50 such as described in connection with the 7th figure, or more generally the means of Hung male cable for towing towed by an aircraft. Such cooperation will be described later in detail, in connection with figure 8. Management hung D is represented by an arrow in figure 5. To enable the snap phase, the invention provides to prepare a hanging area positioning is especially triangle three poles 71, 72 and 73. The first two poles thus form the basis of a virtual triangle. They are intended to expand, i.e. away from the other 14 p of the closed loop strands forming the proximal of the hanging cable 14. 71 and 72 poles behave this way guides or removable to cooperate with such strands 14 p fasteners. Post 73 forms the Summit of said triangle. It cooperates with a cable tension 73A distal cooperates with the means of hanging 40. The rear of the basis of that virtual triangle, the cable hung 14 is extended to the ground and eventually wrapped on itself. How brackets 30 (non-represented on figure 5) are possibly ferlés to reduce clutter. Correction and traction masts are based on the ground. During the clash, the 14 p strands separate automatically posts 71 and 72. Preferably fitted with attachment (s) removable (s) at least one of its ends, the voltage 73A cable is detached 73 post and/or the means of hanging 40 females. Alternatively, the post 73 may include a removable attachment to dissociate the cable tension 73A. The train device 1 thus takes flight towed by a towing cable. Prescription ways to plate take their working configuration and means trolling device holders are deployed.

A device according to the invention train can be operated in multiple applications. For advertising or to materialize targets, for example, it may be required to tow ways passive media in a stable and determined attitude. For these same applications and especially for collect geophysical measures, active elements, i.e. requiring a power supply and communication channels, can be carried by means brackets or even corrective attitude as means indicated in figure 2. Active and smart, such items as open-ended examples of displays, speakers or sensors, may have their own power sources. They can alternatively cooperate with remote sources, such as photovoltaic cells, also conveyed by means brackets 30. Those active elements can communicate among themselves, or with the aircraft, according to wireless protocols. In view of the possibly electromagnetic radiation from an antenna 31 conveyed by means brackets, such protocols without wires may not be relevant. It is therefore essential to provide one or more bus communication and power to deliver energy, messages and measures, since the aircraft to the trolling device and vice versa. It is thus possible to convey queries from a calculator embedded in the aircraft bound for active elements 31 P, 32 conveyed by means brackets 30. Conversely, such bus allow calculator to collect audit and then deal with the measures taken by those active elements. Route a bus along the ways media and even some shrouds along raises no real technical difficulties. The son or electrical conductors can be fixed by all means: sewing, gluing, weaving, etc. On the other hand, given the extent of the constraints and mechanical solicitations from a phase of attachment of the device of train to an aircraft in flight via a cable for towing towed by the latter, establish an electrical connection between said aircraft and the device of train is of great complexity. The invention to overcome these technical difficulties.

As such, figures 6a, 6B or 6 c illustrate ways of hanging females 40 ensuring simultaneously a connection physical, mechanical with means of Hung male, such as those described below for example by 7 figures has to 7th, but also an electrical connection. As such, and according to a first embodiment described in conjunction with figures 6a and 6B, 43i of a hollow conical item 43 of the means inside the wall hung 40 is made from one or more dielectric materials. It includes a plurality of salient electrical connectors 41, 42. Such connectors can be advantageously positioned according to a column from the base to the tip of the conical element 43. As shown in figure 6B, representing a view from below (and/or flayed) 40 ways, each connector 41, 42 is connected to the distal part of a driver or wire 33, 35, all of those sons constituting an electric communication bus. Electric wires 33, 35 are then guided by the hanging cable 14. It can encircle the communication 33, 35 bus. As an alternative, said cable hung 14 may consist of a fibrous structure. The proximal part of the bus communication 33, 35 can be interlaced with the fibers of the said cable 14. For example, you can dedicate a first set of 33 drivers respectively associated connectors 41 to a top-down communication, namely communication established a calculator embedded in the aircraft to a transmitting antenna. This is called top-down communication bus. In the same way, we can dedicate a second set of drivers 35 respectively associated connectors 42 to a bottom-up communication, i.e. to a communication from a receiving antenna conveyed by the device of train to a calculator embedded in the aircraft. This is called ascending or amount of communication bus.

Figures 7A and 7B describe a first mode of delivery means of Hung males 50 cooperating with a tow cable 60 per aircraft. These means of Hung male 50 are planned to cooperate with means of hanging females 40 a trolling device 1 according to the invention as indicated for example figure 8. The means of Hung male 50 cooperate advantageously with the part distal 60 d of the towing cable 60 in the form of a Platinum 50 h arranged advantageously conical. Advantageously, the end distal 60 d of the 60 cable cooperates with the base of the plate. The two elements can be set or fixed by any means, so that the 50 Platinum h can be mounted firmly on the part distal 60 d of the 60 cable and that it can support the effort of hooked then the pulling force of the trolling device. Where trolling device includes communicating active elements with the towing aircraft, 60 tow cable, and therefore the Platinum 50 h, are respectively arranged to convey one or more communications 53 or 54 bus. Such bus consist of one or more electrical conductors pregnant in items 60 and 50 respectively. Alternatively, 53 or 54 drivers can be guided by such cable 60, said drivers are simply attached the long said cable. Advantageously, the towing cable has a soul in the form of a rope, whose function is to bear the traction force, and a sheath that pregnant said soul and the electrical conductors. We can communicate reliably a upward communication bus 53 and/or a upward communication bus. Such bus 53 and 54 are respectively connected to the communication bus described 33 and 35 in connection with the figure 6b through the hanging female 40 and 50 Mayes. To do this, the Platinum 50 h includes connectors electric 51 or 52 leading of the dielectric external wall of the said Platinum 50 h. Such electrical connectors materialize the distal part of the communication conveyed by such cable bus towing. As a favorite, the connectors electric 51 and 52 respectively consist of disjoint concentric rings. Such design allows to ensure good cooperation between 41 and 42 of the means of hanging female connectors and connectors 51 and 52 of the Platinum 50 h, regardless of the orientation of the conical plate 50 h, then its inclusion within the means of hanging female 40, as shown in figure 8.

Consider a hitch as it described in conjunction with figures la or lb. As indicated for example figure 5, in a phase of hanging of the dragging device 1 to the tractor aircraft P, the P aircraft under the ground speed is close to 150 km/h. Although generally the P aircraft frankly rearing to reduce said speed under the ground, it remains greater than 100 km/h. When the cable hanging 14 stretches after insertion of the means of hanging males in female ways of hanging 50 40, respectively of the cable tow 60 and trolling device 1, mechanical solicitations are intense and are transmitted to the coupling at the risk of provoking a mechanical failure. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the unusual dimensions of a device of train especially arranged to collect measures geophysical, of such dimensions up to several hundred or even thousands of square meters.

The invention thus provides ways to Hung males with means shock absorbers of hanging whose function is to accompany the hanging and thus to "soften" it. The components or mechanical components of the coupling, i.e., not exhaustively, the cables, the shrouds, masts, are thus preserved. Alternatively or in addition, the cable hung 14 a trolling device may include means shock absorbers to snap.

As a first example, Figure 7 c and 7 d describe ways to Hung males, similar to those described previously in relation to figures 7A and 7B. The means of Hung male 50 advantageously arise in the form of a tapered Platinum 50 h. It includes a longitudinal internal duct leading to the top and at the base of the Platinum 50 h. It is thus fitted mobile on 60 tow cable. The part distal 60 d of such cable towing cooperate advantageously with the base of the plate 50 h via a coil spring 55 mounted radial, or any other means providing an equivalent function. The ends of said spring 55 are constrained by the distal part of the 60 cable, it being flared or with a stop and a 56 ring positioned against the conical base. After hanging, when the plate 50 h cooperates with means of hanging females 40 trolling device, spring 55 band until his crash absorbing as a part of the effort of hanging or the pulling force of the device of train. Where the trolling device communicating with the aircraft tractor, towing 60 cable active elements, and therefore the Platinum 50 h, are respectively arranged to convey one or more communication bus 53 or 54 cooperating with concentric drivers connectors 51 and 52, as with the previous description in conjunction with figures 7A and 7B.

The invention provides a second example of realization of means of Hung males 50 cooperating with the part distal 60 d of a tow cable, said means using additional shock absorbers to snap.

One such arrangement is described in connection with the 7th figure. Means of Hung male 50 have a stick or a spur 58 (e) mounted a mobile on the distal part of the towing cable 60. The end distal 60 d of said 60 cable is fixed or cooperate according to a liaison Embedment with a heel 58B. Lacrosse 58A cooperates with, or contains, a 50 Platinum: presenting two advantageously trapezoidal sheets 50a and 50b, such a chevron whose Summit is opposed to the end distal 60 d of the 60 cable and cooperates with Lacrosse 58A or part of the said Lacrosse 58A. Said Platinum 50 h with 50a and 50b slips is so hollow, leaving slide in his breast, heel 58b under the action of 60 tow cable traction, until said heel 58B comes into contact with the internal of the said Summit Platinum 50 h, leaning against it. To stop the race of the heel 58b and thus absorb the force of a trolling device hanging when the means of Hung male 50 cooperate with means of Hung 40 of the said device of trolling, lacrosse 58A cooperates with the heel 58b through a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. Cylinder 55a advantageously mounted fixed heel 58B. The 55B piston is mounted fixed on Lacrosse 58A. When moving from heel to Lacrosse 58 58 b, the piston compresses a gas or fluid in cylinder 55 a. Advantageously, it is filled with water, enough to ensure the absorption effort sought. The cylinder of the cylinder may have one or more small openings or valves for compressed water is expelled in the race of the 55 b piston in the cylinder 55 has. Water can be replaced by any other fluid. This water however have the advantage of not to raise risk of pollution during his deportation. At the end of said race, cylinder 55a room is empty, thus reducing the weight of the means of hanging 50. 55a cylinder can be filled again for a future clash with a trolling device.

Like the means of hanging 50 described previously in conjunction with figures 6a to 6 d, described 50 ways in conjunction with the 7th figure may also include electrical connector 51 and 52, as distal part of communication bus transiting via the towing cable. These connectors are advantageously positioned on the external walls 50th sheets 50 a and 50 b. The 50th external wall is in this case advantageously dielectric.

To cooperate with such means hung males 50, described in connection with the 7th figure, the invention provides a second mode of delivery ways of hanging female 40, as for example the means described 40 in connection with figure 6 c. Said means of hanging female 40 are broadly similar to those described in connection with figures 6a and 6B. However, they differ by the arrangement of the 43 Member. The configuration of it is substantially similar to the Member with the slips 50a and 50b of the 50 ways described by the 7th figure. Two slips 43A and 43B cooperate, at least their walls outside 43rd, with a 44 scabbard. The latter cooperates with the part proximal 14 p of the hauling cable 14. The chevron created by 43A and 43B slips, which the Summit can also cooperate with the scabbard 44, is arranged to welcome Lacrosse 58A then slips 50a and 50b of the means of hanging 50 males. The scabbard 44 and 43 Member can consist of a single entity or alternatively cooperation by all means, that is, not exhaustively, by sewing, gluing, welding. Where means of Hung 40 and 50 must ensure electric connection, the internal walls slips 43 43i also and 43B advantageously include electrical connectors with respective ranges of contact with the connectors 51 or 52 of the means of hanging 50 previously described. 58b within 50 sheets heel action has and 50 b causes a spacing of the parties distal of such slips, causing in turn a contact force against electrical connectors 42 and/or 42 ways to Hung 40 females. The hanging cable 14 including the part proximal 14 p cooperates with 44, applied for its scabbard a force tending to bring the distal parts of the 43A and 43B slips. The electrical connection between the connectors electrical means 40 and 50 is thus ensured.

Traction by the aircraft of the device of trolling through the towing cable will maintain firmly the means of hanging within the means of hanging 50 females 40. However, the invention provides that said means hung 40 and 50 could include ways to lock their mutual cooperation after skirmish of the trolling device.

Moreover, connections mechanical and/or electrical means of Hung male and 40 female 50, described open-ended in conjunction with figures 6a, 6B, 6 c, 7A and 7B examples, can be used to tow a train by an aircraft device, when well even the device of train does not have a corrective attitude means. It is the ability of depreciation of hanging for ways to Hung males, described for example no limiting in connection with Figure 7 c, 7 d, and 7th of a tow cable planned to tow a passive trolling device, i.e. not requiring electrical connection, and/or with no corrective attitude means.

A hitch according to the invention includes a P aircraft, a tow cable 60 and a train device 1, aircraft towing through the cable tow trolling device. Such a hitch has been described through a preferred application in connection with the field of geophysical mapping. The dimensions of the ways supports of a device behind the invention allow to convey on a unparalleled airborne surface so far, sensors to perform during a single flight of acquisition, electromagnetic surveys of a basement, in the field frequency (FDEM or Frequency-Domain

ElectroMagnetic induction, according to Anglo-Saxon terminology), by measures of amplitude and phase of an induced electromagnetic field, as well as of the decay time of induced electromagnetic pulse (TDEM or Time-Domain ElectroMagnetic induction, according to Anglo-Saxon terminology). The depth of inspection of the training of a basement is directly related to the dimensions of the sending and receiving antennas conveyed. The invention helps prospect with accuracy and relevance in extremely tormented reliefs, such as for example mountains.

However, a device according to the invention trolling can be completely passive, that is, requiring no electrical connection between the towing aircraft P and the trolling device 1. Active configuration, i.e. that the trolling device 1 requires an electrical communication with a calculator embedded in the aircraft P, a hitch according to the invention can be exploited in any other applications such as, for example, Geomatics, aerial advertising, or Airborne surveillance.

The aircraft is preferably a light aircraft.

The hitch could alternatively include a helicopter or any other flying unit able to tow a trolling device.
