Abstract

A steering unit for a wind propulsion system is disclosed. The steering unit has a first fixed attachment means for securing a first end of a tractive cable (43) the second end of the tractive cable is secured to a device or a vehicle. The steering unit also has second attachment means for attaching a number of tractive lines (40a, 40b, 41a, 41b). The second attachment means includes at least one upper fixed attachment point (for fixed tractive lines 41a, 41b), a left moveable attachment point (for steering tractive line 40a), a right moveable attachment point (for steering tractive line 40b) and a steering actuator means. The steering actuator means can vary the distance between the upper fixed attachment point and the left moveable attachment point and the distance between the upper fixed attachment point and the right moveable attachment point. A mechanical support frame (30) connects the first attachment means to the second attachment means for transferring a tractive force. The second ends of the tractive lines (40a, 40b, 41a, 41b) are secured to an aerodynamic wing element (10).
