To move forward in wind/hurricane the propellers/turbine wings need to move faster than they currently are with the wind. Basically more energy is required to chase the wind. Unless the ship drops and settles inside the hurricane, it won't work.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoBy "hurricane chasing" I just meant constant repositioning to capture wind energy that's currently favorable.

There are physical models of such. Quite counter intuitive. I wonder of it is theoretically impossible if the vehicle is in the air?
