This book on KiteEnergy
----tethered aviation systems airborne and working
to mine and use the wind's energy by use of kite principles---

book title: Airborne Wind Energy     
(search in it)

of about 1,500 file pages forming an online growing textbook and reference on airborne wind energy
is intended for interactive and collaborative open free use
by researchers, engineers, technicians, scientists, school aviation departments, energy professionals, and students.

Continued input by the interested community members
to advance this book is invited. 

Continual peer critique over the AWES science and arts is forwarded openly in the tech forum AirborneWindEnergy, a free join.

The era of tethered aviation along with its kite energy sector deserves our best efforts.

We might extend the application of [wind] power
to the heights of the clouds,
by means of kites
.” 

~utopian technologist
 John Etzler, 1833
 
"In few words when wind speed is 5 m/s, FlygenKite speed is 20 m/s, so the power on the rotor(s)
increases by factor of 64."
~ Pierre Benhaïem of France


EnergyKiteSystems.net

Upper wind energy is a vast new resource to access.

*Upper winds: Smoother, more dependable, more consistent, faster,
more directionally stable, more vertical installation space by far, more distant from human operations, 
higher energy potential, beyond boundary layer wind gradient, fewer bats and birds,
less particulates, and  more placement opportunity! 

"AWE will one day
be dominant
over the current conventional
hard-towered ground-huggers."


"Those skilled in the attending arts see that a paraglider is a gliding kite."
