The Windjet vehicles utilise a combination of technology, usually found on Aircraft and Formula 1, to achieve staggering efficiency. Made from carbon composites the vehicles take huge forces at top speed, being able to transfer up to 1 Ton of side force into the ground.

Wind powered speed records are unlike any normal powered speed record where more power will always equal more speed. With land sailing speed records, more wind does not always equal more speed and instead a technical solution is required, where lift is maximised, but more importantly, drag is minimised. 

However, being technically perfect is only half the challenge. The vehicles also require a precise set of weather conditions to achieve maximum speed. Therefore in order to set a new world record it is more an art of choreography to get the right kit, in the right place, at the right time, with the correct people observing.
