This is the first being built for highspeed transit from France to the U.S. The French, being crazy worldwide sailors, are well into building wind powered or wind assisted freighters. And they led in building aluminum sailboats.

This one is 220' long. The cargo hold is refrigerated to carry pharmaceuticals and other quick demand perishables.
Air freight companies made huge monies starting in the 80's carrying chips from Asia to young Silicon Valley. A high school friend, a salesman for JAL, got into it and peeled off into an air freight company with a partner and got very wealthy. 

This photo cuts off the top. It is a ketch rig.
