Wind-Powered Vehicle Of The Future

08/24/08 - Pretty Cool

The Greenbird utilizes a hard sail to propel itself instead of a soft sail like those found on boats. It acts a bit like an aircraft wing except instead of providing lift, the vertical sail pushes the ship forward while the horizontal wings keep the vehicle stabilized on the ground. It also features a carbon composite body which will allow it to handle the high speeds they are hoping to attain.” w/ photos
