Airborne wind energy system using a tethered aircraft with eight onboard turbines to generate electricity at 10x lower material cost than towers.
Kitekraft develops flying wind turbines consisting of a small tethered aircraft with 8 onboard wind turbines that autonomously flies in figure-eight patterns to generate electrical energy. The systems require 10x fewer construction materials compared to conventional wind turbines and cost approximately half as much, making wind power viable in locations previously infeasible due to complex logistics or landscape constraints. The company aims to accelerate the transition to 100% clean energy and net-zero by 2050. Kitekraft is a product of Kitekraft.
