WIND PROPULSION AND SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR NAUTICAL, TERRESTRIAL OR AMPHIBIOUS SPEED VEHICLES.

摘要

Wind-powered propulsion system for nautical, terrestrial or amphibious speed craft. The invention relates to a wind-powered propulsion system, composed of two rigid main wings (10' and 10) articulated about several axes (14, 15' and 15, 16, 17 and 17'). These wings assume, with respect to one another, viewed head on, a specific angle (alpha) lying between 90 degrees and 180 degrees such that one (10') of them cancels out the capsizing moment generated by the other (10) essentially propulsive one, by means of an aerodynamic effect. This angular configuration confers upon the moving craft, apart from its stability, the facility of planing above the water or the ground. This system, fitted to a hull (20) or wheeled chassis (equipped with its rudders 31, 40, 42 for controlling the stability) associated with a directional (32) keel (anti-drift) (30) device allows lateral translation of the craft, facing into the wind, allowing movement at high speed.
