The Front CoverKitekraft develops technology to generate energy from flying wind turbines. Kitekraft’s flying wind turbines consist of three main components: a ground station, a flying kite, and a tether connecting the two. While the kite is flying horizontal figures of eight perpendicular to the wind, it produces power with small on-board rotors. On page 6 you can read more about this solution. The image on the cover is a long exposure shot of a flying system illustrating the flight trajectory of the kite.
