New types of airborne spinnaker sails are disclosed, made from high-strength straps that are interwoven in a manner that preserves open space between them. These devices, referred to as webbing sails or simply web sails, are designed for use in conjunction with buoyant lifting devices, to capture and harvest wind energy in a way which will generate large mechanical pulling forces, which can be used to drive electric power generators. These types of web sails are designed to operate in winds that exceed 100 or even 150 miles per hour.
