Vertical wing of aircraft on experimental cargo ship
To reduce fuel consumption and therefore pollutant emissions a vertical wing of an aircraft was mounted on the bow of a cargo ship on an experimental voyage from England to Canada, according to the designers it works by accelerating the wind air passing through its surface to propel the ship with a technological aerodynamic system already used in the sports field for very fast vehicles and boats. This is a project promoted by the British administration that is part of a maritime decarbonization program, the ship must be modified by adding an imposing and heavy steel structure and seven and a half kilometers of electrical cables as well as finding space for the vertical wing, then it will also be necessary to mount cameras, additional lights, various components and radar to remedy the loss of visibility from the deck of the ship.
