Topic:              Control Tethered Wings   
forward and reverse, upwind and downwind,
up and down,
Left and Right, stunts, figures,
to named positions, ...  manually, programmed, sensor-driven, passively, actively,  ... to fulfill practical purposes
  • Belief that electronic control of an energy kite system will win lowest LCOE for  utility-AWES  may be difficult to validate. Passive mechanically controlled energy kite systems might bring lowest LCOE.  Both sectors competing would likely enlighten the AWE industry.
