6.4.4 Obstacles - Water (A5/1) 6.4.4.1 Description: 6.4.4.2 Results: Page 24 of 77 Aardvark was sent into a water filled 450mm deep gully in flailing mode. See Figures 6.18, 6.19. Aardvark started flailing at 200m/hr but to get better water penetrationl speed was reduced to 67m/hr. At 67m/hr a flail speed of 1970rpm was held. 6.4.4.3 Comments & Observations There was no way of telling whether the flails were hitting the bottom although rocks and a tin can were thrown up.
