Engineering

Electronics Zapp. Soldering. PCBs… all that stuff… Math & Physics The purest of sciences go here. CAD & Simulation Make it virtually before building it. Blade design The torque, the rps, the airfoils… Power Transmission conductive tethers, tethers for winching systems, rope-drives, rotating shafts, and more Manufacturing Making it a reality! Crosswind Kites / Planes The kites that go wooooooooosh, wooooooooooooosh, wooooooooooosh. (Please someone write decent category descriptions!) Generators & Gearing Go get that power! Electrifying! Lifters / Pilot kites Get the Lift! Lifting things. That boulder just outside of geostat orbit goes here. System Design Looking at the structure of whole systems. Flight Control As if anything was under control.
