- Comment on World's first 4,000-meter airborne wind turbine tested by China — its 747-sized helium blimp generates megawatt power from high-altitude winds 1 week ago:
You could attach the kites to the blimp though? I’d imagine you could make the ground tether/power cable cheaper and lighter by using a heavier duty transformer with higher voltage, which would be more viable on the blimp. Then have the blimp spread out a fleet of kites when at correct altitude with simpler electronics.
