I looked at the Sky-Sail rig and wondered that with computer control you couldn't put two or more of these kites up and further reduce fuel consumption.
On old sailing ships, what was the mast but a means of holding the sails in a fixed position relative to the ship? This does it with automatic kite control.
Could you see maybe four of these pulling a 2,500 ton ship along with the engine shut down?
