Free-flight airborne wind energy
Tethered FFAWE and Untethered FFAWE
The portfolio of impacts that a system will have on the environment
depends on details of configuration, construction, control and use.
Some systems will aim to produce lift, electricity, transport, pumping, signaling, e
entertainment, recreation, fuels, light, noise, etc.
Some systems will satisfy particular tasks in niche applications.

News of 2019 : Facebook, Inc. is assignee for a DKAV ( dual-kite aerial vehicle) patent; most of the described technology in the application seems to be non-novel. Discuss such matters HERE.
