Beluga Sky Sail

[tonyboysax]

thats a seriously big kite board -you got there

[cadstat]

Very nice green invention. :-) Depending on wind condition, it can lower fuel cost by 10% to 35%.

[toastyovens]

Only Europeans can think of deploying such a wacky, silly and ugly looking idea.

[EUROSUN1]

Yet another great European invention! Very cool. Let`s say that instead of 280.000 they save only 100.000Euro`s in fuel a year. That`s still very much worth it. And perhaps they could even increase the sail (and thus the effect) in second or 3generation versions.

Unless the cargo is cheaper who cares.

[michaelhenriquesrj]

....and the airplanes?

[CynnndiSmith]

Wind is CHEAP! :) (and clean)... As an old "smut pot" sailor, I used to envy the sailboats as i watched my fuel tanks drop during a cruise.

[ZLOfan]

Beluga CONSTITUTION is the best vessel in the world!!!!!!!

P.S.: X-deck rules!!!!!!!!!!

[BradyLile]

I've worked on one of these ships...pretty cool. It seems like a genious hi-tech way of transportation when all it is is reverting to old technology.

[calvinjones]

definetly 'back to the future' love it :-)

[richardisadick]

can i put one on my car?

[Karletto555]

thay say 20-30% less fuel consumtion i say 1%max

[calvinjones]

well thats nice. i guess you are a specialised areodynamic engineer of some kind? Perhaps running some complex sort of computer modelling program on your pc? Seriously what is the point of random assertions.

[dickylobster]

Yes, let's go back to sailing ships and burn NO fuel

[ollie1277]

this does not replace the engine, it works alongside it,

it can produce about 6,800 HP

[dickylobster]

motor sailing is fine with me.
