The Green Jet that designer Erik Sifrer has put together is an 187 foot sail yacht that runs on both wind and hydrogen power. The luxury yacht uses two automated Aero-sail systems that can be controlled by a touch screen and an on-board computer which determines the best position for the water craft's sail for maximum propulsion and thus minimize use of the 950 kilowatt engines.
The good-looking Green Jet comes equipped with such amenities as a pool and jacuzzi, dance floor lights and futuristic-looking interiors.
