A Beijing-led consortium has completed the first full flight validation of China's S4000 tethered airborne wind-energy system, lifting a lightweight generator 4,000 meters above the ground to tap stronger, steadier winds.

    Isn’t that a picture of an airship, not a power station?

      The power station is airship shaped. The picture does look like it could be a render, not sure.

        Here’s a real picture, with the big turbines visible… https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/S4000-Stratosphere-Airborne-Wind-Energy-System.png

          I think you linked to the wrong article: China tests Boeing 747-length airship airborne wind turbine at 4,000 metres .

          It genuinely pisses me off how cooked “journalism” is that they don’t even bother with their pictures, and it’s even worse when they just use AI generated images.

    This is so cool, but it probably has to be really far from air traffic. I imagine a bunch of these like 100 miles off the coast, providing electricity to a desalination plant and hydrogen generator on the coast
