Airborne wind turbines have many problems that need to be solved. Balloons might be slow and difficult to control. Kites might be fast but unstable. The solution to these problem is to combine a balloon and a kite in a device that is called kytoon. Kytoons are very convenient because they combine the good properties of kites and balloons. The can reach high altitudes and be quite stable. It is well known that wind power rises exponentially with the increase of altitude. Therefore it is wise to consider installation of airborne wind turbines. These turbines could give high efficiency yields of wind power. Beside kytoons, air balloons, tethered aircrafts and kites can also be used to lift the wind turbines to high altitudes. Although this technology has not reached wide application, it will certainly be more popular in the future and we can expect many airborne wind turbines installed.
