The following hypothesis has been proven false:  SF (shown false)
An AWE falsifiable hypothesis:
    SF:         All AWES are kite systems.       
  • It has been observed that the AWES depicted in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_air_turbine are not kite systems. This is sufficient to prove the subject falsifiable hypothesis is false.  
  • The result is that some AWES are not kite systems. This is proved by observing an AWES that is not a kite system. See the aircraft in the above linked article.

  • Want to describe other AWES that would also be sufficient to falsify the subject hypothesis?  Note: there are more than the RAT item!
  • Want to contest the results herein?  Maybe someone will balk at the result; maybe someone will see a RAT-holding powered aircraft as a kite system; the literature seems not to support such. So, by consensus, the SF stands.
