The story
of AEROFORCE

Aeroforce was born from a simple conviction: wind must once again become a driving force for modern navigation and the decarbonization of maritime transport.

Since 2022, the company has been developing a wind propulsion technology inspired by aeronautics: an automated, retractable wing mounted on a telescopic mast. This innovation transposes a NACA profile, used in aeronautics to generate lift, into a vertical application to produce propulsive thrust at sea. Our mission is to accelerate the decarbonization of yachting and maritime transport through a solution that is simple, high-performance, and compatible with the missions and operating environments of both leisure vessels and commercial ships. Aeroforce thus supports the transition of two major sectors facing new environmental and regulatory challenges.

The AEROFORCE
team

Behind Aeroforce is a team of engineers, sailors, and experts in wind propulsion, aeronautics, and onboard systems. Our strength lies in bringing together complementary skills to design, industrialize, and deploy a technology that is unique in the world.

Our partners

The first shipyard to integrate our technology. The MODX 70, 100% electric and energy autonomous, is the pioneering vessel equipped with Aeroforce wings. This collaboration made it possible to validate the technology in real navigation conditions, over more than 10,000 nautical miles.

DISCOVER

Expert in autonomous onboard control systems. MADINtec develops the intelligent automation layer that turns the Aeroforce wing into a true wind engine: dynamic control, safety, and power management.

DISCOVER

Pioneer in ocean preservation and scientific exploration. Race for Water explores innovative solutions to accelerate the transition toward renewable energies. Aeroforce wings contribute to this vision by demonstrating how wind propulsion can support a cleaner maritime future.

DISCOVER

Wind Ship is a professional association whose purpose is to support the structuring of a genuine wind propulsion industry in France, enabling the development of clean, decarbonized shipping. Wind Ship promotes the industry's expertise, engages in dialogue with public and private institutions and civil society, disseminates knowledge, and develops projects.
