ENERKITE

We combine a skinned carbon fibre rib structure with a semi-rigid design - i.e. we do not transfer the forces centrally, but via several contact points on the wing. As a result we reach the optimum of low wing weight, durability and exceptional aerodynamics . EnerKíte is the highest-yielding airborne wind energy concept currently under development... Carbon fiber reinforced plastic provides the best combination of weight and strength. We manage, with our partner, to manufacture the wings in a fully automated process... Our business model was found to be sound, the design drawings for the prototype are ready, the production hall in Brandenburg has been found and pilot operation with customers is planned.
