Boat kite propulsion system WingCommander X120

for ships

WingCommander X120 - the system is designed to sail vessels up to 120' feet boat length with the kite only. The Kite can be controlled by remote control or automatic. WingCommander X120 must be adapted to the hull design, displacement, and energy consumption of the ship. Our kite systems make it possible to power your boats with kites. Kites fly much higher than traditional sails where the wind can be as much as 2x the strength. Additionally, due to the unique physics of kites the power generated can be as much as 10x as a similar sized conventical sail - meaning a 10sqm kite can be the same as a 100sqm sail on a run. It can be installed in various types of boats inboard or outboard. The kite is controlled by joystick or autopilot. For example, a 60' catamaran can sail at a speed of 6kn without any additional propulsion. This corresponds to a saving of 159Kg CO2 per hour (assuming 60l consumption p. hr.). For an Atlantic crossing with 20.000l this is about 53t CO2 saving. The newly developed WINGit Voyager Kite is the world's first series kite for propulsion of ships. The shape of the kite has been uncompromisingly optimized for use as a towing kite. The use of the most modern materials, the optimal tuning of the components and the esay handling make the WINGit Voyager the ideal kite for use with our Kite Control Systems.
