On the process of figuring out if AWE is commercially viable

5 kg / kW would lead to 3 tons / 600 kW for M600 which has already some difficulty to make positive generation with a wind speed below 11-12 m/s, weighing “only” about 1.7 ton in total. This would augur for the limits of the crosswind fly-gen (by using secondary turbines) method in terms of commercial viability.
