ABSTRACT:
An airborne buoy droppable from an aircraft into water, comprising, as a float, a balloon which inflates during its fall. Before being dropped the balloon is protected by a hood locked by a bent blade bearing on a wedge. During the fall, the scoop-shaped mechanical parts lift up, a cloth placed below an opening in the scoops inflates and frees the hood by drawing back the wedge fixed on the tongue forming an extension of the cloth.
