Project Kite
is
the worldwide brainchild of part of the AWE community that aims to
work kite systems for the benefit of humans, animals, and plants. The
AWES open public forum is a technology discussion arm of Project Kite. Local development groups have been forming to advance Project Kite's
mission. Reports are invited when lessons are learned, when kite-energy
systems are installed, when works by kite systems have occurred.
Planners are welcome to gain community support for their kite-works
plans, no matter the how specialized is the kite-system
application (electricity production, pulling, lifting, transporting,
shading, reflecting, entertaining, sound making, animal protecting,
bird scaring, fire fighting, fishing, crop harvesting, weather
modification, water production, etc. -- among thousands of
historical or potential applications). Project Kite considers it is a spirit partner with such movements as Project Sunroof by Google. Every community is invited to further Project Kite by
using kite systems in some effective way. Each human is invited to
sharpen his or her awareness of how kite systems may play a role
in their lives. Dreams and concepts for the future are welcomed to be
reported to the world; post a copy of your kite-energy
systems doings, ideas, and dreams into the message stream of AirborneWindEnergy (an open forum ready to further Project Kite).

Project
Kite is a great name for the sort of cohesive overarching R&D
vision that has in the past been called by many awkward partial
less-intuitive names like LadderMill, KiteGen, Fraunhofer Plan, and so
on, the common theme having been a kite-based civilian open "Manhattan
Project" to create AWE solutions equal to all challenges. kPower has
been using "k plan" as a working name for Open AWE enterprise planning.
Project Kite has the winning advantage of being clearly about kites,
which none of the earlier naming attempts can match.
No
doubt ghosts and shadows of previous names will linger, but Project
Kite seems ideal to present to the world as the unifying name of
globally-organized AWE R&D. Not just utility-scale electricity is
featured, but all directly useful kite applications powered by wind.
