An age of greener, more efficient shipping may be in the offing as a specially modified 43,000-tonne bulk freighter completes a six-month sea trial using a combination of diesel engines and a set of high-tech automatic sails to catch the wind.

      Rather than usual sails these are solid and foldable and act more like plane wings

        I mean sails form an aerofoil but these are ridged aerofoils.

        Sails can be folded away and what do you call those big vertical things in the picture?

            We can’t find fabric anymore? Shit. And I suppose we can’t collapse a mast the way these guys collapse a mast if there’s fabric involved. Oh well.

                Bro do you really think that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

                We have dramatically better flexible teenage materials than any metal you can think of. Ever heard of kevlar? That’s only the cheapest and most well known example too! Don’t tell me you’re not embarrassed to have said that shit.
