Network Kites and Daisy network kite rotors

[PierreB]

An illuminating description of the stability of networked lifter kites, compared to instability without a network:

Claim: Kites in a MAWES need to be able to: CLAMP onto the tether and LATCH onto the previous kite + a discussion on how to do this + a first mention of stackable kites + a concept for automatic launch of a soft kite train

This is the video which shows the extraordinary difference in stability which the top net brings. [Network Kites are Stable fliers.] It starts out without a top net - - chaos - the kites are going everywhere Then it re-runs with a topnet - - order - the kites are stable (this is the exact same range of random force vector acting as the lift kite resultant on the top end of the tether where the lift kites are) and again without… It shows a 5x deviation difference from original set…
