Topic    Terms and acronyms for AWES that have main electric generators flying/lifted aloft in the kite system/aircraft/drone Find offers on topic and discuss. References? Notice that flown sound generators, flown heat generators are cousins to topic. RAT is one acronym seemingly birthed for electric generators that are onboard powered aircraft. Ram-Air Turbine. RATs may be on sailplanes or kited wings also. The entire kite system that has a main purpose of having electric generators lifted or flown aloft have received the attention of various terms: fly-gen AWES, flying-generator AWES, flying generator kite system, sky-gen AWES, FEGs for flying electric generators, ...    what else? Notice that an energy kite system may be designed to be a ground-gen system where main electric generators are on the ground, but such system might have minor electric generators aloft that perform system duty; such AWES would be ground-gen AWES having auxiliary electric generator aloft. Notice: Just because some developers focus on fly-gen AWES does not prove that such tactic will be best for some market in mind; that is, for a defined market, ground-gen AWES might win over fly-gen designs.
