The next generation of wind energy

WINDPLANES: wind energy for people

What are windplanes?

Windplanes are fixed-wing airborne wind energy systems that harvest wind power with small, onboard turbines.

They are lightweight and fully autonomous wind-harvesting airplanes tethered to the ground, like a kite.

When can they be deployed?

Why windplanes?

Windplanes access stronger and more consistent winds at higher altitudes while using less than 10% of the material required by conventional wind turbines.

This means lower costs, faster deployment, reduced visual impact, and clean local energy with a smaller environmental footprint.

Where can they be installed?

Windplanes can be installed in farms, remote areas with challenging logistics, and off-grid locations where conventional energy systems are costly or impractical.

As long as there is enough wind, they expand the range of viable sites for clean energy generation.

Who can benefit from them?

Farms, businesses, but also private homeowners and entire communities can be powered by windplanes.

By generating clean electricity, on-site or nearby, this technology cuts down on energy costs, and lowers grid-dependence, accelerating the transition to net-zero.

Windplanes are quick to deploy thanks to their compact size and simple installation, making them ideal for both permanent and temporary use, including disaster relief and emergency power supply.

We need them now to strengthen energy independence, improve energy security, and accelerate the green transition.
