- 0-liner non-paraglider glider has no tethers to any bridling point; such gliders are not paragliders.
- 0-liner paraglider has only tethers that act as wing shapers and wing-shape controllers; that is,
at the bridling point is placed the kite system's resistive set of elements. The bridle lines double role as
kiting lines and wing-form keepers and wing-shape controllers when the wing is soft canopy rather than
airframed. Such gliding kite systems have a large sport paragliding presence.

- active air
Air that has robust helicities occurring. Thermic conditions,
obstacles, industry, vehicles, machines, other aircraft, birds, trees,
wind turbines, kites, ground formations, buildings, combinations
of things, etc. are among some of the sources resulting in
helicities that sum to active air.
Active air is a normal characteristic of the atmosphere. Natural
creatures have evolved to survive unique levels of strength of active
air and to avoid the levels that exceed that strength. Humans,
relatively new to flight, continue to struggle to recognize what levels
of strength not to exceed with their various flying devices.
- Helicity
A property of a moving fluid which represents the potential for helical
flow (i.e. flow which follows the pattern of a corkscrew) to evolve.
Helicity is proportional to the strength of the flow, the amount of
vertical wind shear, and the amount of turning in the flow (i.e.
vorticity). Atmospheric helicity is computed from the vertical wind
profile in the lower part of the atmosphere (usually from the surface
up to 3 km), and is measured relative to storm motion. Higher values of
helicity (generally, around 150 m2/s2 or more) favor the development of
mid-level rotation (i.e. mesocyclones). Extreme values can exceed 600
m2/s2.

- A-frame and
U-frame and Parallel-frame. Infinite zenithal
A-frame. Infinite Apex-al A-frame (Steve Seibel).
Practically it is almost impossible for have two beams parallel;
microscopically teh two beams will vibrate to be skewed in space.
When two side beams are joined to a base beam's ends, and then joined
at a apex of a triangle, then we have a firm A-frame. Else, if the two
up-going beams are not joined directly, then they are likely to be
skewed in space and almost never be parallel, but momentarily.
But assuming the side tubes are fixed on the same plane, then if one
attempts to have the beams parallel on that plane, then the two tubes
will rise to form a U or rise to form at a point of infinity an apex to
the triangle; hence Steve Seibel of Aeroexperiments
spawned the term "infinite apex-al A-frame. Faust had the
term "infinite zenithal A-frame" from visualizing the zenith as the
meeting point of two parallels; the zenith point would be the
apex. In real builds of biplane hang gliders, sometimes the
builder has two symmetrical up-going beams from the lower-wings's spar;
those two beams might deliberately be slanted toward each other or set
as parallel as the designer could make them, perhaps specifying that
the beams be parallel. But in material fact, even if the
specifications call for parallel, the two beams will almost all the
time live their lives non-parallel while going into skew configuration;
again if one then assumes same plane, then also assume fixed position,
then the zenith point may be considered as the apex of the A-frame, or
the top of the "A" of the craft.
- for for hang gliders
to a flexible wing hang glider with pilot hung from keel behind the
A-frame or cable-stayed control bar was exampled in a gliding club in
1908 in the territory of Breslau. Photograph of the demonstration is in
Stephan Nitsch collection. That and the Flight magazine of 1910
feature on the control system involved with the triangle control frame
formed part of the inspiration for others to use the system; indeed the
basic TCF was involved in one way or another in almost all aircraft as
it morphed in various ways as an undercarriage, holder of engines and
motors, springs, skids, etc. Igor Bensen used the hung pilot
behind a small triangle control frame or A-frame in his early 1950s
kite-glider. Later users in the 1960s included Barry Hill Palmer, Mike
Burns, and then John Dickenson and others. Thanks to the pioneers
pre-1911, including Beeson, Pilcher, Wenham and others who gave the
foundations for the A-frame control system most simplified by the
Breslau 1908 exampling.
- 1905
patent filing by Gustave Whitehead had control frame with infinite
zenithal A-frame in front of the pilot in flexible-wing hang glider.
- In
1908 in Breslau in gliding club meet, a battened flexible wing
footlaunch hang glider featured the A-frame cable-stayed with pilot
hung from keel, one of the many early uses of what is so common today
in ultralights and hang gliders.
- In
1910 in the classic book on model airplanes had many examples of the
use of the A-frame for landing skis and wheels, even cable-stayed
beneath parasol wings.

airborne lattice airborne latticework
"Airborne lattice-work based on classic kiting seems to me to be the
fundamental early enabler of dense AWE arrays. Fancy kiteplanes will
not easily crash if held aloft in a lattice. Such latticework can be
based overhead in common valleys & evolve in any direction to host
any harvesting element. KiteLab's biz plan is to use the crash pattern
of the "leaders" to attract attention and investment to preventative
concepts." Dave Santos Nov. 9, 2010
Take a 2 MW single-tether kiteplane (like Joby's
model) operating under a 2000 ft ceiling. To keep safely clear of
neighbors it occupies a circular plot near a mile across. Presume a 3x3
array of nine kiteplanes for 18 MW from a 3 mile square kitefarm. The
same land developed with conventional 5 MW HAWTs, spaced normally,
could develop greater than 100 MW, presuming that better wind
capacity-factor aloft roughly offsets the lowered system availability
of complex delicate aircraft. Conventional HAWTs win overwhelmingly in
raw land efficiency without even touching the upper-wind. However, the
same land and airspace that the nine kiteplanes sparsely occupy can be
densely packed with airborne turbines or wingmills, in string
latticework based on classic kite methods, for over a rated gigawatt.
AWE arrays of cross-linked semi-captive elements seem to have a
fantastic advantage in space-efficiency, not just safety and control,
over single-tether designs.
I used crude geometric methods to estimate these figures, so it will be
fun to see how well someone else's calculations coincide. A suggestive
guesstimate is that there is well over a gigawatt average in a tiny
mid-lat crosswind patch of sky, just 100m across & 10km high. Dave Santos, Nov. 10, 2010

- The 2011 September OZONE XXLite PG offer is probably not a true single-surface wing.
Air flow aft of the stream stagnation point or separation point goes to
top surface of an airfoil and to the bottom surface of the airfoil. In
the video there is clear partial bottom surface material aft of the air
flow separation point. This offer of OZONE is using an airfoil format
that has a top surface and some bottom surface material. A true
single-surface wing has not thickness except for one thickness of sheet
used exactly for just one of the two, pick your choice top or bottom,
but not both. The Rogallo Wing parawing is single-surface; the gliding
PlaySail is single surface; the Allison kite-glider is a single
surface; but the offer of subject and the OutLeader™ (though of a
single fabric) are not airfoils of single surface, as they have a
shaping that brings on material below the stagnation point forming
airfoil surface, that is, the bottom surface of the airfoil, even if
the % of full chord is small, but substantial. Differently, look to
some true single-surface PGs when applying the term "single-surface"

- Note:
Kite systems anchors come in great variety. Essentially a kite has a
"resistive sector" (anchor) that can be fixed or moving to
various reference frames. The resistive sector could be a hand of
a human, a tree, a moving vehicle, a parachute, a kite, a rocket, a
raft floating in a river, a fuzzy tether that develops tether drag in a
different strata of air or perhaps water or moving lava, etc. The
resistive aspect permit the tether set to bridle the other end of the
tether set where a wing or set of wings react with streams of fluid or
matter or plasma to fulfill the kiting principle.

-
Many AWES may use deep-set low-mass soil anchors without need for concrete.
-
anchors may
be moving objects, moving vehicles, moving asteroids, moving earth,
moving hand, moving person, rock, tree, building, etc. If
an object is playing the role of an anchor or resistive set in a kite
system, then such object is an anchor for that kite system. Very
common anchor is the hand of a standing person; but notice that the
hand moves, the person moves, and the soil upon which the person may be
standing moves relative to the ambient wind. An anchor in a kite
system might be another wing that resists by the kiting principle
relative to the first wing set of the kite system. At times, some
authors refer to the anchors as the "feet" of a kite system (ref2)

- Rough study note:
Kite (wing set, tether set, resistive source set)
Kite as anemometer
Studies, notes, papers towards robust view of "kite as anemometer" could follow in this topic thread.
Motivations?
Realtime strong view of wind speed and direction at all altitudes from
wing altitude to mooring regardless of length and inclination of tether
segments might provide data for AWECS farm management.
??
One rough concept:
Sensors along the tether know their referenced position in space and
local wind speed; the data is reported and analyzed to give robust wind
speed profile. A family of smart anemometer tethers could report
windfield conditions. This goes differently
from the Squid Labs "smart ropes"
that address the condition of ropes; rather, attention is over the
reporting o the wind speed at specific positions in the airspace;
report would not be simply wind speed at tether station, but at
altitude over a particular ground point, and for many
points. Data might be sent via RF with fine filtering
for separated frequencies or with encrypted stationing in one frequency
with separation by timed position in serial reporting; this would
preclude electrically conductive tethers. April 15, 2011, by JpF. tethersonde

A wide variety of AWE
methods are being identified for low-altitude airborne wind-energy
capture. Tethering between mountains, buildings, aerostats, kytoons,
etc. at low-altitude mine messy winds, Venturi sites, artificial streams, high-coordination with water flows, etc.
Also, a generous choice of methods for high-altitude airborne
wind-energy capture present to engineers. Two large categories of
methods:
1. Ground (or water) moored (fixed or mobile)
2. Free-flight dynamic (no tether to ground or water)
A couple of severe types within the umbrella categories of LA-, MA-, SS-, or HA- regards
1. position of the generator or pump: lofted gen or groundstationed gen; and
2. whether or not the system is an "ever-up" or a system that frequently collapses into a non-working phase.
Control further affects design: active control (robotic or human or combination) or passive control.
Additionally, size or scale matters.
Specific application and budget drive final design of AWECS.
