Kite Powered RC Boat
Click to see a bigger image
Here is my Preliminary design
for a
Kite Powered RC Boat. The boats hull is partially lifted from the water
by the kites lift. The boat is steered by changing the position (forward
and back) of the foil/leeboard relative to the boat hull. This changes
the center of lateral resistance. I have not yet worked out the kite steering
mechanism.
