ScienceAirborne Wind Harvesting: A National R&D Program
China’s first national R&D program for airborne wind energy has advanced with the successful deployment and retrieval of a 5,000-square-meter parachute in Inner Mongolia in November 2025. Described as the world’s largest of its kind, it captures winds above 300 meters and drives ground generators through a traction cable, supporting research into efficient transmission and stable long-duration control.
