First component thrown from a dual rigid kite turbine stack

[Rodread]

So I guess the pertinent question now is…
Where is the common incident reporting framework for AWES?
In this case … It’s probably not the EASA
This test was run below notifiable height and weight for a kite system. (I did call to notify the local air traffic control before and after the test.)

This issue is mentioned in earlier threads

Safety by virtue of funding source

If an AWES prototyping or science benefits from state funding, do you presume there is a standard for reporting the findings of that r&d which are important to the safe deployment of the technology? Possibly not. Maybe the case could be argued that reporting would be detrimental to the public investment or the company IP. Aviation authorities globally report on standards and accidents … But which relevant bulletin pages should we scan and repaste here? Anyone suggest some search pattern data …

First accident with impact on third parties

Has there been any further explanation on the failure @ufechner? Again, having seen an incident where 7 of 8 AWES lines failed, I thoroughly recommend using network architectures and avoiding running lines for safer AWES. In my incident the upwind lines cut each other. It is very easy to cut or melt UHMWPE line.
