Auxiliary propulsion system for ships (towing kite)
SKYSAILS
SkySails GmbH & Co. KG
The SkySails-System consists of three simple main components: A towing kite with rope, a launch and recovery system, and a control system for automatic operation.
Instead of a traditional sail fitted to a mast, SkySails uses large towing kites for the propulsion of the ship. Their shape is comparable to that of a paraglider.
