  Windjet prepares water craft for record
Windjet is a British campaign to shatter three World Speed Records on Land, Ice and Water using wind power alone.
The Windjet Water Craft, which is under construction, is the result of over five years research and development and represents a significant leap in sail craft design.
Although Team Windjet will be concentrating on the design and construction of the new water craft, the Land craft will be out and about this year attending its hectic schedule of shows during the summer, including the 7th Waddington International Air show.

 Passenger Opinions about WindJet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
We were supposed to have flown yesterday at 3pm only to arrive for check-in and be told it would be 4pm.
At one stage we were assigned a plane and things looked hopeful, then a few minutes later it was used for a flight to Milan which was scheduled so much later than ours.
Having watched the flight board avidly for so many hours it was apparent that all the Windjet flights were delayed by at least 60 minutes.

Important - The Windjet project is currently not developing their water craft.
The majority of Windjet's research went into this evaluation, with hundreds of small balsa models, to overcome a number of hurdles.
The biggest problems are often unforeseen and only begin to occur when nearing the final 10% of the boats potential, so it is very valuable to get some high speed experience before building the final itteration.

A WindJet boat was used in the movie “Speed 2” and on the television show “Baywatch.” The company hopes to see the WindJet on “Fear Factor,” and Hershman may hire a product placement agency to generate more exposure for the boat.

 Windjet in Nevada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The heavy rains of 2004-05 have made the surface at Ivanpah, which is always cracked, rougher than usual.
How it's done: Low-end speeds are an issue for Windjet, so a truck pushes the craft into its performance range, and then Jenkins accelerates away.
Ivanpah Dry Lake is the place were Bob Schumacher set the current landsailing speed record of 116.7 mph on March 20, 1999 on the asymmetric, port tack-favored Iron Duck.
