Æther Swiss Kite is a groundbreaking initiative focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by over 20%. A team of 60 students is developing an automated control system to launch a large kite, enhancing fuel efficiency through wind power. The project aims to provide an open-source solution, improving kite traction for the maritime industry.
Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” LINE) announced that its subsidiary, Oceanicwing, completed the first phase of land-based testing for the Seawing kite system. This innovative wind-assisted propulsion system aims to enhance maritime transport efficiency by harnessing high-altitude winds, with promising results leading to further development phases and larger-scale testing planned.
