The Makani Collection
Shared resources from the energy kite project
Project Makani aimed to provide access to clean, affordable wind power. The team spent 13 years developing energy kites that generated electricity by flying in loops and sending power down a tether to the grid. In 2020 the team’s journey as a company came to an end. To create tailwinds for the next generation of airborne wind scientists and developers, the team created this library of resources.
