Abstract
Described herein are systems and apparatus for transverse gradiometer (TVG) acquisition using a towed platform. A first wing surface that is pitch-adjustable based on rotation about a leading edge of the first wing surface. A second wing surface that is pitch-adjustable based on rotation about a leading edge of the second wing surface, and wherein a pitch of the second wing surface is adjustable independently from a pitch of the first wing surface. Unlocking insights from Geo-Data, the present invention further relates to improvements in sustainability and environmental developments: together we create a safe and livable world.
