A piloting system (10) comprises an aircraft (12) disposed in the stratosphere at a first altitude (q1) and immersed in a first wind (v1), and two orientable sail towing means (14, 16), each comprising a sail (18), connected to the aircraft (12) by connection cables (24, 26) and disposed at a second (q2) and a third (q3) altitude to capture a second (v2) and a third (v3) wind. Two nodal devices (20, 22) are connected to the sails (18) to vary their orientation and pilot the aircraft (12). First sensors (28) on the aircraft (12) acquire data on the altitude (q1) and direction (d1) and speed (s1) of the first wind (v1). Second sensors (30) on the sail towing means (14, 16) acquire data on the altitude (q2, q3) and direction (d2, d3) and speed (s2, s3) of the wind (v2, v3). A control unit (32) acquires altitude, wind speed and direction data from the sensor means (28, 30) and provides control signals to the nodal devices (20, 22) to adjust the orientation of the sails (18).
