The book investigates various WAPS designs, from rotor sails to kite sails, and analyzes their performance through real-world case studies. It quantifies emissions reductions and assesses the economic factors driving WAPS adoption, offering a framework for evaluating return on investment.
By starting with the fundamental principles of wind-assisted propulsion, dedicating chapters to specific WAPS designs, and culminating with an analysis of economic factors, the book provides a clear progression of information.
The book argues that wind-assisted propulsion is a viable component of a sustainable future by demonstrating how innovative engineering and advanced materials are transforming wind power into a competitive alternative to conventional fuel sources.
