UNDERLYING MISSION  To harvest energy from high altitude winds  Concept of the Airborne Wind Turbine (AWT) was developed 250m 100m 250m

EXISTING SYSTEMS  These AWTs can take the form of a powered glider, or kite. Companies such as Makani, Ampyx Power, and KiteGen have all developed commercialized versions of these systems  Also, Senior Design team P14462 (our predecessor) attempted to develop a glider and successfully created a base station.

PROJECT BACKGROUND  Also, Senior Design team P14462 (our predecessor) attempted to develop a glider and successfully created a base station.

PROBLEM STATEMENT  The goal of this project is to design, build, and reliably test a powered, human-controlled tethered glider specifically for use as an airborne wind energy system (or AWT)  Tethered glider capable of continuous circular flight  Integration with current base station  30 trials of 3 min continuous circular flight with tether tension and glider position recorded  Functional simulation of flight path
