Windtracx develops the Aero Kite Drone — an autonomous, actively-flown rigid-wing tethered drone, unlike static sails or passive kites. Continuous optimal-altitude flight maximizes thrust, while integrated sensors add maritime surveillance capability.
Windtracx (Switzerland) is developing the Aero Kite Drone, an autonomous rigid-wing tethered drone system for wind-assisted ship propulsion. Unlike static sails or passive kites, it actively flies at optimal altitude to maximize thrust across a wider range of wind conditions, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Built on 30+ years of aerospace engineering experience and multiple patents, the system also integrates multi-spectral sensors for maritime surveillance, offering shipowners a dual-purpose decarbonization and monitoring solution.
