The Front Cover
The image on the cover shows the WindWing which incorporates a horizontal wing configuration instead of a propeller. The technology which was covered in more detail in the March 2008 issue of Windtech International is not solely dedicated to producing electricity. Now two years later the WindWing is in the final stages of development and the company will be entering the market soon. In the article on page 7 Gene Kelley gives an update about the WindWing/WaterWing project and his view on the industry in general.
