Airborne wind turbines are representing a new concept where turbines are launched into the air and kept there by using balloons, kites, kytoons, helium balloons, hot air balloons or tethered aircraft. This concept is relatively new, but the applications will certainly follow in the future. When the wind turbines are converted to airborne, they drastically increase efficiency and they can generate more power. The wind speed is higher on higher altitude and it is wise to put wind turbines on big heights. However, it is not convenient to build turbines in the mountains or other unreachable areas. On the other side, airborne wind turbines can be placed everywhere, including off shore or in urban areas. The airborne technology will certainly revolutionize the wind power generation all over the world.
