摘要：
Tethered wings that fly fast in a crosswind direction have the ability to highly concentrate the abundant wind power resource in medium and high altitudes, and promise to make this resource available to human needs with low material investment. This chapter introduces the main ideas behind airborne wind energy, attempts a classification of the basic concepts that are currently pursued, and discusses its physical foundations and fundamental limitations. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
