There is enormous progress being made in batteries and electric propulsion.
These advances could perhaps be used for individual drone-based AWES versions, implementing, for example “couterrotating turbine” concepts.
Take-off and landing by using the generator as a motor powered by the battery, in eVTOL - (Wikipedia) mode.
The drone goes to a suitable location at altitude (tops of buildings or hills), unrolls a short tether, and charges the battery by wind generation, then returns to the user’s home to discharge the battery, keeping enough energy for the next takeoff.
