Are they pulling the ship with the kite?? If so very cool.. Bet it would save lots of fuel.. Wonder how its steered.

peace

it appears that the kite is pulling the ship... it's steered by some sort of weight or pully system.. they show it really quick on the vid. Pretty amazing

Ship = $10,000,000

Big Ol Kite = $5,000

Saving the world from using to much fuel = Pricless

Now We need to hook them up to NASCAR and we can really save some fuel.... lol .. Would make those left turns little cooler
