WingCommander RC

Hightech for comfort and safety.

1. Winch Unit: Kite-steering mechanism

3. CPU-Unit: Here all sensor data and steering signals are being bundled and processed.

4. Motor Controller: From here the motors of the winch unit are being addressed.

Fully electronic Steering

Power-consuming steering will be done fully electronically. This will make handling easy and manageable for everybody.

Compact powerhouse:

The WingCommander is the world's most compact drive system for boats.

Energy-saving propulsion technology

WingCommander's propulsion technology has been optimized for minimal energy consumption. Therefore, WingCommander takes up only 200W power input.

Line lengths of up to 150m

Our line concept, especially designed and optimized for yacht use, allows the kite to be started even at low winds and makes it work efficiently at greater heights of up to 150m with stronger winds.

Sail power x 10:

Performance is enormously increased by the operating height of up to 150m and the possibility of performing active flight figures. Thus, the kite can achieve a performance up to ten times higher than that of a conventional sail of similar size.

Easy installation inboard and outboard:

The installation of the WingCommanders takes place by simply screwing it to the deck.

Under certain conditions, an integration into the boat structure is possible.

Controller

Core of WingCommander RC. Here all sensor data are being processed, transformed into steering commands and broadcast to the radio module of the CPU-unit.

Simple and intuitive steering

The kite is manually steered by a joystick. Clearly arranged operating controls allow intuitive handling.

Customized commands:

At the push of a button...

Portable:

Operating the WingCommander can be done with the controller from any position of the boat.

Smart Tech:

Smart Tech means for us as developers, that our system is never finished. For you, this means your WingCommander today is even better tomorrow and you can continuously benefit on the developments in the coming years, through the installation of updates.

Autopilot

5. Kite Sensor: Attached to the kite. Identifies the kite's exact position and flight attitude and broadcasts data to the controller.

6. Line-Sensor: Identifies the kite's position in relation to the boat's course.

The autopilot has three components: a line sensor, a kite sensor and an extension for the controller.

For longer distances, the autopilot will take over control that can also be executed manually. It will also fly pre-defined flight figures that can also be manually optimized by you.

Various flight modes:

The autopilot has two different flight modes.

Lying Eight: to generate the maximum power.

Zenith: Sets the screen automatically to the zenith of the boat and keeps it there.

Intuitive handling: 

The autopilot can be intuitively activated, operated and optimized on several parameters.

SmartTech:

Smart Tech means for us as developers, that our system is never finished. For you, this means your WingCommander today is even better tomorrow and you can continuously benefit on the Developments in the coming years, through the installation of updates.

Kite

Easy to use:

Kites of today are easy to use, easy to control, forgiving, and above all very safe.

Inexpensive and tested:

To consistently benefit from the development of this technically sophisticated sports equipment, we use various types of commercial kitesurfing-kites for our kite systems.

Always avaliable:

With the proliferation and the steady growth of the kite sport kites are widely available on favorable terms.

Lines

High Tech for High Performance:

The flight lines connects WingCommander RC and Kite. The diameter of the lines has a high impact on the performance of the Kite Propulsion System. That is why we use only high quality  lines made in germany.

Depending on the intended purpose, the lines have a break load of  300 - 1300 kgf.
