Tiira

It looks like The Pyramid offshore version. The Tiira “ground-based carrousel beam” is tilted, just like the Pyramid “cartwheel”.

A fine test of another rotary device (here with three kites) was performed by @JS_Brouillon:

Two kites orbiting each other do not need roll control

Sorry for the couple months off the radar. It was super hard but we managed to make our system rotate stably with neither a lifter nor active control surfaces. Funnily enough, the system gets more and more stable the longer the tethers are (up to a point). You might notice that the base is now powering the rotation. This change was to avoid breaking too many motors, because there were a lot of crashes before we managed to build the wings correctly. We probably will come back to self-propelled…
