Aeronautical Wind Turbines

Just a link like that? It's light as an intro for a subject!

But this subject has already been seen on this forum (a search gives *), that poses big problems of regulation by wind too strong or null ... as well as problems of air navigation: a cable is invisible ...

No chance that one of these wind turbines will be installed in Europe one day ... the sky is too "crowded" here!

I am a modest paramotor pilot and I do not imagine what a collision with a cable could give on a paramotor!

I find this "solution" totally extravagant and unnecessary.

Well, this is probably not the opinion of investors and those who grant public aid ...

The closest to us and one of the worst productivity levels I think is the KiweeOne

Not far from 1000 € for 100W for a more than uncertain and intermittent production, this did not prevent its project leaders from receiving a lot of public aid ...

A 100W solar panel is € 100 today ... with much more certainty of production!

One way to earn even more money (tax credits, various exemptions) for these "investors" by financing startups, even stupid ones.

You have not understood the full potential of synergies with liquid nitrogen storage.

Please do not look for it, it is pretty well alone!

I think these wind turbines are made to be placed 300 km from the coast, where planes fly at 10000 meters.

Dung, these "wind turbines".

You have estimated the price of connection / maintenance at 300 km odds for wind turbines of reduced power?
