摘要

Device (500) for controlling the ground clearance of an airship (200), said airship being provided with two lateral anchoring points (212), said device comprising a frame (502) on which a weight (504) is fixed. ); two (rigid) arms (506), each of the arms having one end, called proximal, articulated on the frame and one end, called distal; means for moving (520) the distal end of each of the arms between a position, said to be restrained, in which each distal end is in contact with a lateral anchoring end of the airship, said to be associated with said distal end, and a position, called unlocked, in which there is no contact between the airship and the docking station; fixing means, removably, in the retaining position, of the respective distal end of each of the arms on the respective associated lateral anchoring point.
