Abstract (en)
Maritime drone (1) comprising a hull (2), which is provided with an upper face (3) and defines a containment volume (5) at its interior, a wing sail (6), which is extended along a main extension direction (X) transverse to the upper face (3), is provided with a wing profile (7) susceptible of intercepting the wind and is movable between an operative position, in which the wing profile (7) projects from the upper face (3), and a non-operative position, in which the wing profile (7) is housed in the containment volume (5), first movement means (8), which are arranged for moving the wing sail (6) between the operative position and the non-operative position, and second movement means (9), which are arranged, at least with the wing sail (6) in operative position, for rotating the wing sail (6) around a rotation axis (Y) parallel to the main extension direction (X).In addition, the first movement means (8) are arranged for moving the wing sail (6) along a translation axis (Z) parallel to the main extension direction (X).The second movement means (9) also comprise a motorized slewing bearing (11) provided with a stator ring (12), which is fixed to the hull (2), with a rotatable support (13), which is rotatably and coaxially mounted on the stator ring (12) around the rotation axis (Y), is rotatably integral with the wing profile (7), and is provided with a through guide channel (14). Such guide channel (14) is extended axially parallel to the translation axis (Z), communicates with the containment volume (5) and carries, slidably inserted, the wing sail (6) along the translation axis (Z). In addition, the motorized slewing bearing (11) is provided with motor means (15) mechanically connected to the rotatable support (13) and arranged for making it rotate around the rotation axis (Y).
