OutSail Technologies
Revolutionary, Modern Wing Sails
OutSail Technologies is building unlimited-range wind-powered vessels using aerospace technology.
We know modern aerodyamics can make wind cheaper and more reliable than internal combustion.
The effects of fossil-fuel use are degrading the ocean and destroying the planet. It’s time for modern wind power.
Outsail has brought a groundbreaking technology from satellites, the tape spring, to earth. Our fully autonomous, retractable wingsail allows vessels to access more wind power than ever before by providing both the aerodynamic efficiency of a wing and the perfect amount of area for the wind strength.
OutSail is backed by Y Combinator (W23), and founded by two engineers and an aerodynamics PhD who have led teams, managed products, and designed hardware for Momentus, Nuro, AEye, Tesla and SpaceX.
Former Founders
Arpan Rau
Most recently , I was founder and CEO of OutSail Technologies, a company dedicated to moving maritime freight economically, using wind power.
Before founding OutSail, I was a Systems Engineer and Product Manager serving organizations like SpaceX, Relativity Space, Momentus Space, Impossible Aerospace, and Nuro.
Bailey Da Costa
I am co-founder and Chief Engineer of OutSail Shipping, a company dedicated to economically moving maritime freight using wind power. Previously, I was a Senior Electrical Engineer at both Impossible Aerospace and Aeye. I also founded QuizMount, a social media based study website. I love building devices from the ground up as well as giving systems the love and care they deserve.
Joseph Oorebeek
Hands-on aerodynamicist with experience in supersonics, hydrodynamics, automotive and aerospace, who loves building the infrastructure of the future. I thrive on experimental fluid-dynamic studies to find novel solutions to complicated problems, while leveraging simulation tools and low fidelity analysis to back up the experiments. I am happy expanding my work to include all other aspects of engineering for a good product design. On my own time I love finding the confluence of science in baking.
