What happens to the kite when the wind stops blowing?
- exDM69 13y agoThe demo video shows the kite autonomously landing to a rig next to the ground station. It uses the engine/turbine propellers to launch and land using electrical power. Their material says that they launch at wind speeds of 3.5 m/s, which is a light summer day breeze that is hardly noticeable. It is a common misconception that kites need high winds to fly, the optimal wind speed for most kites is 3-6 m/s.
