Hi Pete,

Thanks for an interesting series of posts. I believe I understand how a
free-flying wing as you describe might be applied to aircraft, but I
don't see how it applies to wind turbines. OK, you could use a kite
structure instead of a tower to hold your turbine aloft (and hope the
wind never dies for even a few seconds!), but you still need rotors to
actually crank the generator, right? How do the principles you're
describing impact rotor design at all?

Thanks,
- Joe
