What might climate-friendly shipping look like in the future? One possibility is modern wind-powered propulsion systems. These incorporate aerodynamics from the aviation industry and a great deal of software. One ingenious software framework is Odyssa from the DLR. It enables the evaluation of ship, sail and energy system concepts before investing millions in an actual vessel.
Annika Fitz and Lars Schmitz from the Institute for Maritime Technologies and Propulsion Systems discuss modern ship, sail and energy system concepts with Daniel Finger on the podcast ‘Von der Erde ins All’.
