for Motor Boats from 40 to 60ft
The WingCommander X40 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 can be controlled via a joystick from any position on the boat or operated through autopilot.
Produkt 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 or through the integrated autopilot. The intuitive layout of the controls ensures easy operation.
The WingCommander can be operated from any position on the boat using the controller.
The WingCommander can be used with most kites available on the market. By upgrading the system with the Force Control, you can also use the much more powerfull Voyager Kites.
Autopilot
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.
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.

Installation Options
Mast with rigging lines and winch on deck. Mast and
rigging lines can easily mounted and removed in few
minutes. Winch needs to stay in place.
Mast with rigging lines on deck and winch below deck. Mast and
rigging lines can easily mounted and removed in few
minutes. Winch can stay in place.
Plug-in-mast and winch below deck. This is a very
common way of mounting on new build boats as the
shipyard can prepare a compartment for the inch and
mast storage. Mast can be mounted when needed
