About

Makani was dedicated to expanding access to clean and affordable wind power by developing a novel airborne wind energy technology known as energy kites. This technology utilized a wing tethered to a ground station to capture wind energy more efficiently than traditional wind turbines. By replacing the large, steel towers of conventional wind turbines with lightweight, aerodynamic hardware and advanced software, Makani aimed to access wind resources that were either too expensive or impractical to exploit with traditional technologies. The energy kites system offered a more flexible and cost-effective approach to harnessing wind power, enabling broader deployment and making wind energy accessible in locations previously deemed unfeasible. This innovative approach sought to drive the adoption of wind power on a global scale, contributing to a more sustainable and diverse energy landscape
