Cargo ship with a kite reduces fuel consumption


The Belgua SkySail - a 10,000 tonne cargo ship with a 160 square meter kite that reduces fuel consumption by 15%. (more at The Guardian)

Pretty cool.

What else might benefit from a 160 square meter kite?

Yeah, it looked pretty snazzy. Next for the winged keel...
