• "Joby & Makani's flygen concepts require camber or rotation reversing for high turbine efficiency as they do both thrust & power extraction without reversing airflow." DS

  Sky Wind Power's concept won't have to camber or rotation reverse, merely change from generation to motoring blade pitch setting (from neg to pos pitch), as its turbines reverse airflow.     ds "  M495
   

• Sky Wind Power pre-incorporation associated photo of 1986: http://www.skywindpower.com/ww/Aust-test.htm Upon the courtesy of PJ Shepard and her research:  [[The "myself" in the paragraph below is Bryan Roberts.]] Bryan replied and said, "This photo was taken, I believe, on or about May 1986. The twin-rotor craft was approx. in the autorotation state in the photo. Generation was done briefly in another test, which is shown in the video attached to the SWP website.   [[Videos]] The craft had rotors 12 feet in diameter and weighed 64 lbs. The people in the photo ( reading from left to right in the photo) are Hasso Nibbe, Alan Fien, Grahame Levitt and myself. All were employees of the University of Sydney. The tests were undertaken on the University's "Mt. Pleasant Farm" at Marulan in New South Wales. The wind was onto our backs at about 15 knots thereabouts."

  2010 March 1-3: Three HAWP companies had booths at ARPA-E Technology Showcase, Gaylord Convention Center, Washington, DC. Investment and showcasing by HAWP entities: Joby Energy, Sky Windpowr, Magenn Power directed visitors to each other's booths.   2010 March 6. Eight airborne wind energy technology entity leaders in USA held a telephone conference and decided without objection to propose a modification to bill HR 3165; the primary line-item proposed modification entered to a congressional member was the inclusion of "airborne wind energy technology."    Wind Energy Research and Development Act of 2009     Len Shepard and PJ Shepard represented Sky Windpower in the national phone conference.   2010  ... images and notes in some coming books

  Greg (RIP, 2006) gave PJ the link  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1248068.stm which was forwarded to David H. Shepard (RIP, 2007), AWE inventor, which action led to partnering with Dr. Bryan Roberts, AWE inventor, for the formation of Sky WindPower company in 2002.
