Origin of AWE Species

an ongoing project

Origin of AWE Species by AWEIA members and associates is being written
in the working folder of the association. All historical notes are invited: 
Your notes and research are invited for the project:    October 10, 2009 announcement.   
originofawespecies@aweia.org

What would constitute a novel species of AWE?  Open discussion; send ideas.  Follow the evolution of species.  Which species have found installed application? Where is the evidence? Drawings? Specifications?

Possible species-formation talking points:

  • Combines
  • Single kite with single line.
