for Motor Boats up to 55ft
The WingCommander RC enables boats to be powered by the force of kites. The kite flies at windier altitudes of 25–80 meters and pulls the boat with up to ten times the power of a sail of the same size. The heart of the system is a kite control system with electronic controls that make kite operation incredibly easy. It can be installed in various types of boats, either inboard or outboard. The kite is controlled via a joystick from any position on the boat.
Product Features
The WingCommander X40
It is the propulsion unit for controlling the kite.
Fully electronic control:
The demanding control tasks are performed entirely electronically, making operation simple and manageable for anyone.
Compact powerhouse: The WingCommander is the world’s most compact propulsion system for boats.
Energy-saving drive technology: The WingCommander’s drive technology is optimized for minimal energy consumption.
Line lengths up to 80m:
The line system, specially optimized for yachting, allows the kite to be launched even in light winds and to operate efficiently at windier altitudes of up to 80 meters.
Sail power x 10:
The operating height of up to 80 meters and the ability to perform active flight maneuvers significantly increase performance, allowing the kite to deliver up to ten times the power of a conventional sail of the same size.
Easy inboard and outboard installation:
The WingCommander is easily installed by bolting it to the deck. Under certain conditions, integration into the boat’s structure is also possible.
Remote Control
The heart of the WingCommander is the remote control.
This device processes all control commands and sends them to the CPU unit’s radio module.
The kite can be controlled manually via joystick. The intuitive layout of the controls ensures easy operation.
The WingCommander can be operated from any position on the boat using the controller.
The Rigging Mast
It raises the attachment point of the lines above rail height and transfers the loads safely into the ship's structure through the rigging.
