WindRunner
WindRunner

Delivering the largest, most efficient wind turbines directly to the wind farm

WindRunner radically expands the reach of onshore wind energy

WindRunner is the world’s largest aircraft, specialized to deliver the largest onshore wind turbines

TODAY'S ROADS CAN BARELY SUPPORT BLADE LENGTHS OF

70m
230 FT

FUTURE BLADE LENGTHS ARE LIKELY TO BE IN EXCESS OF

100m
330 FT
100m+ blades are not feasible to move on current infrastructure
Today’s largest wind turbines and the even larger ones of the future cannot be transported to prime onshore wind farms via ground infrastructure

Enabling a new category of energy production
WindRunner delivers GigaWind, the most powerful wind turbines ever deployed onshore

WINDRUNNER COMBINES THE WORLD'S LARGEST PAYLOAD BAY WITH THE ABILITY TO LAND ON SEMI-PREPARED AIRSTRIPS AT WIND FARM SITES

Our global fleet will operate from regional hubs where blades are imported or manufactured

Cruising Altitude

WindRunner flies directly to the destination, up to 1,240 miles (2,000km) away from the hub at an altitude up to 41,000 feet

10AM

Landing on Rough Terrain

WindRunner can land on semi-prepared airstrips as short as 6,000 feet (1,800m), something no other large commercial aircraft can achieve

11AM

Unloading

Blades are unloaded the way they were loaded –through the front cargo door, at ground level, directly to onsite ground transport

Turbine Construction

WindRunner deploys blades up to 105m long in almost any location

WindRunner will change the green energy landscape forever
