On the take-off of airborne wind energy systems based on rigid wings

The problem of launching a tethered rigid aircraft for airborne wind energy generation is investigated. Exploiting well-assessed physical principles, an analysis of four different take-off approaches is carried out. The approaches are then compared on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criter...
