Comparison between unnetworked and networked AWES

From Dave, writing “AI agrees that a further hyper-scaling stage is possible, fitting neatly under the 10km upper wind boundary.

I would name it “a network of networks”, or “networked networks”. Concerning Dave’s comment, I would be more cautious about what AI can actually claim. In addition, I know only one way to prove the proper functioning of a kite network: testing it with a generator, in different configurations (lifter kites or tether-aligned (yo-yo mode) or crosswind kites or others).

We know a peer-reviewed publication:

Fig. 21.12 shows an interesting configuration where the kites are placed on the nodes (that I took back), leading to more freedom, in opposition to the kites placed between the nodes.
