AWES classification

The example of the kite flying a circular path, like the Makani kites, is different, in my opinion. Here there is no mechanical linkage (I should have probably use this term instead of “more or less rigid elements”) of the kite to the center of the circular path.

Hi @rschmehl , Kiteswarms and other dancing kites have “mechanical linkage of the kite[s] to the center of the circular path”. So they might rightly be rotary kites by your explain, as well as crosswind kites by your classification.
