High-Altitude Wind:

Our analyses show that upper boundary layer wind is typically 1.5 - 3 times faster than at the Earth's surface and upper tropospheric winds are 4 - 10 times faster.

This results in approximately double the power density in the upper boundary layer and 40 times in the upper troposphere.

To capture this immense power potential, we are developing airborne wind turbines that will operate in these two regimes.

Our airborne wind turbines operating in the upper boundary layer have a projected capacity factor of 70 - 75%, nearly double that of a conventional wind turbine.
