“…8 shows a heading offset that corresponds to the BAT operating under the initial set of design parameters. This behavior was in fact observed in full-scale flight under improper ballasting configurations, as described in [17] and [16]. It is therefore encouraging that the experimentallyinfused optimization employed in this work was able to identify and rectify this known problem.…”

“…2 to the Altaeros BAT, we introduce the basic model and controller structure that is used for numerical optimization, along with key variables. A more detailed description of the dynamic model is presented in [17] and [15].…”

“…This also reduces the overall loading on the tethers which is advantageous for scaling up to larger designs. A study was conducted in [15] to demonstrate this scaling effect. The total system mass for the system was related to the shroud surface area, the overall loading and the mass increase of the rotor proportional to its power output.…”

“…These include balloons [1], airborne wind turbines [2], and tethered airfoils (kites) [3]- [8]. The main advantage of reaching higher altitudes lies in the fact that the wind speed grows with the elevation from the ground, and that the power that can be extracted by a wind flow grows with the cube of its speed.…”
