Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018158576A1] One type of kite system for the extraction of energy from the wind includes a kite connected to a base unit using a tether. The kite system comprises: an anhedral wing having wing tips and a central part located vertically higher than the wing tips; a frame coupled to the wing by plural bridle lines;a pitch actuator connected to the frame; and a tether attachment mechanism for attaching the kite system to a tether at a tether attachment position. The pitch actuator is configured to move the tether attachment mechanism, and thus the tether attachment position, in the fore and aft direction with respect to a forward flying direction of the kite system.
