Untethered airborne wind energy systems

Power can be stored via batteries, chemistry or kinetic energy. Whichever you choose, the energy amount is quite limited due to weight constraints. This method is only useful for powering something to remain airborne for extended periods, and this something must be combineable with the physical stress required for dynamic soaring flight. I think at the very most we are looking at a niche market here. Most probably just a nifty idea without much practical use
