Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021053305A1] This device (1) comprises: - a propulsion element (2) having at least one portion (20) that is deformable by elongation/contraction along a main axis (X2) connecting a front part (21) and a rear part (23); - at least two guide elements (3, 5, 7) that are able, under the effect of an energy input, to bring about a rotation of the propulsion element (2) respectively about a first axis of rotation and about a second axis of rotation that are transverse to one another and to the main axis (X2) of the propulsion element; - a control unit (9) configured to actuate a rotation of the propulsion element (2) about at least one axis transverse to the main axis (X2) in a manner coordinated with a deformation of the deformable element (20) of the propulsion element (2) by elongation/contraction along the main axis (X2).
