Sky Sails Use Wind Propulsion to Reduce Shipping Fuel Consumption
The use of Beluga Sky Sails towing kites to propel ocean-going freighters can save 10-50% of fuel usage. Imagine a kite the size of a football field pulling boats across the oceans. Instead of using a sail attached to a mast, like ocean crossing vessels of yore, a Sky Sails towing kite looks like a paraglider in the sky above the ship.
