Rigid kite (airborne wind energy)
- ... that rigid kite airborne wind energy systems could also be used in surveillance and atmospheric monitoring?

- @Mahno2000:
New and by far long enough, Earwig detects no copyvios, all images are properly licensed, QPQ done. The hook could be improved; its source specifically focuses on the eastern Schengen area border rather than generic surveillance, which is interesting. I also think that a hook just focusing on the fact that tethered UAVs can generate wind power is by itself pretty interesting. Also, "rigid kite airborne wind energy systems" is a bit wordy and a shorter phrase should be used.
- I'm also going to quibble with the sourcing of the history section. "The quantitative foundation of the field is usually traced to the 1980 paper 'Crosswind kite power' by Miles L. Loyd" is cited to that 1980 paper itself, and "the field's first comprehensive monograph was published in 2013" is cited to that 2013 paper. These facts can only be verified by independent sources written afterwards. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 21:48, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
