Towing carriage

In order to pull the model there is a carriage made of a steel structure , that rolls on two lines of tracks anchored in the lateral parapets of the “model basin”. The alignment and leveling of these tracks have taken place with great precision to avoid alterations of the speed of the carriage during the tests. The carriage can reach a speed of up to 3.5 m / s which allows to carry out tests for high speed vessels.
