ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing drag and spin inducing device is described for an instrumen underwater vehicle. A flexible plastic disc having a central aperture and segmented into angularly offset vanes is pressed onto the vehicle probe section with resulting distortion causing the disc to assume a conical configuration. The vanes flex to increase drag on descent and decrease drag on ascent, while also assuming spin inducing pitch.
