Early Makani flight testing was used to gather data and determine the efficacy of different kite, power-gathering and control arrangements. In tests conducted in late 2008 the team used a three-line pumping kite setup, wherein two lines were used to steer the kite in a figure-eight pattern and a third line wound on and off a winch drum, which was the method of gathering the energy from the wind. This design was used to pilot the kite for two long autonomous tests—over 24 hours each—in...

Early testing of Makani energy kites with soft, kitesurfing kites. Various methods of steering were tried, this system used a capstan on the kite and a winch on a retired and repurposed ladder firetruck as a ground station. The concept would harness the power of the wind at the ground.

e model is obtained through use of commercial off-the-shelf software that is incorporated in a low-cost flight simulator, which is marketed as FLIGHTLAB. The FLIGHTLAB development system facilitates rapid design and analysis of a high fidelity helicopter model using non-linear dynamic modeling techniques. The simulator model of the Hughes OH-6A helicopter is presented and its fidelity is compared to actual fight test data conducted at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Patuxent River, MD....

Early testing of Makani energy kites with soft, kitesurfing kites. Various methods of steering were tried, this system was referred to as a 'rail' system, wherein the lines that connected the kite to the ground could be moved forward or back on the kite to steer it. A winch on a retired and repurposed ladder firetruck was used as a ground station. This kite energy concept would harness the power of the wind at the ground. The rails system was attractive because it looked simple and...

This collection of photographs document the lead up to and the subsequent completion of Makani's All Modes ground station, which was the first base station that would support all the modes of flight required for Makani's energy kite to be fully autonomous. In May of 2013, just before joining Google, Makani completed the first turnkey flight of an airborne wind energy system. This is a compilation of footage from flying Wing 7, a prototype with a wing span of 8 meters, mass of 58.4 kg and...

Prior to any flight test, Makani began to conduct Hardware in the Loop testing, known as HITL testing. Running the code on the kite and any representative systems that were available was an efficient way to find bugs in the system before going to the trouble to put the kite in the field. The kite would run through a flight test while being fed wind data as though it were actually flying. These photographs document the setup of that HITL station as they were installed in Makani headquarters in...

Early Makani flight testing was used to gather data and determine the efficacy of different kite, power-gathering and control arrangements. Zaftig was Makani's first rigid wing design, and the first carbon fiber prototype. After the first, short, test flight of this prototype the team scrapped carbon fiber designs for several years—instead using cheaper materials that were quicker to prototype and repair. To learn more about the Makani project please see “The Energy Kite: Selected Results...

One of Makani Power's founders, Corwin Hardham, prepares to launch a kite for a test flight on the runway of the old Naval Air Station in Alameda, CA. This kite was steered using a capstan mechanism, evident in the center of the kite on the strut.
