Test of the hover controller, in particular in yaw direction (multicopter frame, i.e. roll direction in airplane frame). The yaw is stabilized using the flaperons which are in the propeller wash. The flaperon deflections are visible when Chris pokes the kite with the broom. The controller quickly reacts and stabilizes smoothly the yaw angle back to zero. Note that differential propeller directions as used for small multicopter-drones do not offer nearly enough yaw moment for control authority of the kite's inertia or expected wind loads. In addition, such a control scheme greatly reduces the thrust for yaw stabilization. This is why this is not feasible for our system.
Sailing in the lake region of Argentina with a sailing yacht. We just made a little stop in the marina, on our way to the supermarket. We chatted with a yacht owner and after 5 minutes he asked us to go sailing with him and some friends! Very nice! Music: free royalty free music by Danosongs.com
Windelo has no intention of playing small. It recently announced two larger bluewater catamarans: the Windelo 58 and the Windelo 62. Founded in 2019, the French yard has already carved out a successful market with its eco-conscious, performance-oriented catamarans. ▫️ These new flagships are a bold statement of intent from Windelo. More space, more autonomy, and more performance without the environmental compromise. ▫️ They are continuing itheir design partnership with industry legends Christophe Barreau and Frédéric Neuman and have joined forces with the Stellantis Design Studio. ▫️ The goal? Take down the barriers between inside and out – letting the horizon become part of the living space. ▫️ Performance for the design team is not just about sailing fast. It’s also about sailing more often — being able to move under sail in as little as 3 to 4 knots of wind. ▫️ #eco #yachts #oceans @windelocatamaran
