This square design centers on an unattributed artist’s visualization of an “Oceanbird” ship with six tiltable, vertical sails to aid fuel savings. The headline reads, “A New “Age of Sail”? Oceanbird aims for a 10% Fuel Reduction.” Illustration from Oceanbird, via Interesting Engineering Online.
Here’s one for your “everything old is new again” file: the #AgeofSail never saw sails like this, but a new “Oceanbird” project seeks a 10% #fuel #savings by using tiltable “wing sails” for #industrial #ships.

Early 18th century ships may have been cumbersome, un-weatherly and struggled to operate in winter, but they did look magnificent.
