About the company

WindTracX introduces an innovative Wind-Assisted Propulsion System (WASP) engineered to deliver high-efficiency traction. The system can be used without stopping throughout the entire year, significantly reducing fuel consumption and associated carbon tax.

Our autonomous rigid-wing Aero Drone-Kite differentiates itself through active flight control, higher aerodynamic efficiency, highly redundant control systems, and rapid deployment capability. The result is a safer, faster, and more reliable wind solution for bulk carriers and tankers.

Thanks to its high payload capacity, the system can also host on board sensors such as weather station and vision sensors, as well as counter-drone for anti-piracy solutions. This enables enhanced aerial surveillance and more accurate weather forecasting locally, helping optimize routing, and further reduce fuel consumption.

High-Altitude Autonomous Kite

WindTracX captures wind energy at high altitudes, operating at around 300 m above sea level where winds are stronger and more consistent.
On average, wind speeds at this height are about 20% higher than closer to the sea surface (around 30 m), that is translated in 40% more trust, as the speed increase traction in a quadratic way.

Real Benefits

WindTracX is designed not just for performance, but for real-world operations at sea.
Active flight control and higher aerodynamic efficiency mean the system generates stronger and more consistent pulling force, helping reduce fuel consumption on a daily basis.

The fully redundant control system ensures safe and reliable operation at all times, minimizing the risk of downtime and increasing system availability throughout the year.

Rapid deployment allows launch and recovery in about 2 minutes, compared to ~15 minutes for conventional soft kites and avoiding operational risk in changing wind conditions.

Combined, these features provide ship operators with a practical and reliable way to lower fuel costs and reduce emissions.
