AWES classification

Terms can be discussed. Apart this, Omnidea is in the same category as Guangdong, as drag type in the schema. I think both are yoyo systems. Perhaps reaching consistency with this schedule would be difficult.

I think @rschmehl classification is good and can be aligned with established wind power, because the already used terms like “lift” or “drag” or “downwind” are not used, and the specific terms of AWE (“crosswind”, “tether-aligned”…) are understandable.

The scientific publications should use the terms of this classification instead of confusing terms like “lift” or “drag” type.
