Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016050936A1] The invention relates to an object (20) that can be towed in a fluid by a cable (12) according to a substantially horizontal transport axis (X); the object (20) including a body (21) suspended by gravity from the cable (12) by an attachment arm (22a, 22b), and including: an outer hydrodynamic surface (24) which is symmetrical relative to a vertical plane (Psv) containing the transport axis (X), so as to limit the lateral lift of the body (21); and an opening (30) passing through the body (21) according to a vertical axis (Z), configured such as to balance the pressures of the fluid flowing along the outer surface (24), making it possible to limit the hydrodynamic forces that may be generated perpendicular to the transport axis (X) driving a rotating force around the transport axis (X) countering the effect of gravity.
