Kite powered trimaran using WingCommander RC Kite System

[@solstar4778]

No updates in the past 4 years , bummer ! Need a bigger kite !

Good job you invented the spinnaker

[@carmelpule6954]

Needs a gyro on board which would transmit down to keep stability. I would think that there would be enough wind up there to run a small wind generator to keep it all as an airborne self controlled unit.

they have real big ones for ships.

[@SOVEREIGNDesigns]

bigger kite or smaller boat

[@jimmar7150]

looks great and all but i wonder how it would do on long distance trip like ocean crossing how does it react in storms and most of all can it be installed/use in combination with a standard rig

Добились успеха?

Нужен постоянный контроль...А если молния ударит?

Сейчас всё автопилот делает

I'm curious what happens in case of a lightning strike? Is there some way to ground it? If not I feel like the Wing Commander would get fried.

[@walle1976]

Rofl. Its when you ground it the wing commander will get fried. Not grounding it is the best way to not make it catch lightning ;). Also this kite was way too small as clearly an extra engine was running as seen in video. But this would work with a much larger kite and indeed its something that can be used on a modern wind powered craft...

[@chrisreid3122]

Were the engines running ?

[@oldergeologist]

Is that a farrier

[@solstar4778]

oldergeologist what farrier ? .??

[@oldergeologist]

sol star I thought it may be an Ian Farrier design. It is actually a Corsair which was probably designed by Ian.

Cool system/product but really bad name. I googled the hell out of it. Good luck in that sea of noise.
