Portable Underwater Mapping, Research, Inspection and Reconnaissance
Unique Wing Design
The V-Wing creates a hydrodynamic flow over its unique wing design to produce a depressive force that pulls down many times its own mass (typically a 5:1 lift-to-drag ratio). The V-Wing’s unique dihedral wing design enables rapid descent, submerges to unlimited depths, stability during operations, and minimal drag.
Reduce Potential Failure
By eliminating the need for motorized propulsion, V-Wing reduces potential points of failure, product weight, and component costs.
Technology Flexibility
The V-Wing’s self-contained towed body also provides the flexibility to mount a variety of marine technologies for commercial and government applications.
Intuitive Operation
A moving command ship can receive real-time transmissions from V-Wing via a connected cable. Operators control V-Wing’s set depth based on the length of cable in the water and boat speed. To simplify operations, a software program helps operators determine appropriate V-Wing depth.
