A location signalling device comprising a wing balloon for signalling a location. The wing balloon is fixed to a tether line that itself is fixed to the location to be signalled. The wing balloon has an inflatable aerodynamically shaped hollow body to be at least partly be filled with a lighter-than-air gas and having a wing attack surface for air flowing relative to said wing balloon. The floating aloft of said wing balloon is supported by said air flow. When the wing balloon is inflated, a flexible wing portion is passively variable. The stronger the wind, the less attack is given. Thus, the dragging force on the tether line is generally static.

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de signalisation d'emplacement comprenant un ballon doté d'une aile permettant de signaler un emplacement. Ce ballon doté d'une aile est fixé à un câble d'arrimage qui est lui-même fixé à l'emplacement devant être signalé. Ce ballon doté d'une aile possède un corps creux gonflable de forme aérodynamique pouvant être au moins partiellement rempli avec un gaz plus léger que l'air et son aile présente une surface d'attaque pour l'air s'écoulant relativement audit ballon doté de ladite aile. Le flottement en hauteur de ce ballon doté d'une aile est rendu possible par ledit flux d'air. Lorsque ce ballon doté d'une aile est gonflé, une partie de type aile souple devient variable de manière passive. Plus le vent est fort, moins l'attaque sur l'aile est importante. Ainsi, la force de traînée exercée sur le câble d'arrimage est généralement statique.
