Page 30 <strong>of</strong> 77<br />
A 750m strip <strong>of</strong> partially vegetated/wooded track on a slope was set out (an overgrown<br />
firebreak).<br />
This test was designed to test <strong>Aardvark</strong>’s brush clearance capability.<br />
<strong>Aardvark</strong> flailed at varying speeds throughout this test according to what the terrain<br />
permitted.<br />
The angle <strong>of</strong> the side slope at various points is as follows.<br />
• Start = 16º 03’<br />
• At ½ way:- downhill = 20º 07’, Side slope = 18º 15’<br />
6.4.6.3 Comments & Observations<br />
The flail threw stones, branches and debris high in the air (~30m) depositing it over a<br />
wide area.<br />
