Centipede AWES Concept
 

Defining in open AWE usage the metaphor "leg" for a tether; then let "centipede" stand for an AWES with many tethers (~100). Similarly, let "millipede", "megapede", etc. be so understood. "Monopede" has already been applied for single-tether AWES.

High tether count AWES and aerotecture is an major emerging class of AWES to ponder. Highly distributed anchor fields are the characteristic feature. Applications of complex anchor fields have been considered in detail on the AWES Forum, and the concept continues to crystallize nicely.
