SkySails and Wistron’s subsidiary AiSails deepen strategic partnership
The two parties will deepen their collaboration in kite-based airborne power technology and integrate artificial intelligence across multiple applications. Following the successful flights of Taiwan’s first AWE site in Lukang, the two companies are preparing the next stage of their collaboration. The goal: to bring scalable, sustainable power to the Asia-Pacific market.
SkySails Power and AiSails Power celebrate first flight in Taiwan
On July 1st, SkySails launched the first flight of its kite-based airborne wind energy system in Taiwan. The maiden flight marks the deployment of Asia’s first kite-based airborne wind energy system and a milestone for SkySails’ international expansion.
Research project SkyPower100 successfully completed
SkyPower100 is the world’s most comprehensive project to demonstrate an automated airborne wind energy system. Since 2019, an airborne wind energy system with kites of up to 120 m² has been in operation within the project in Klixbuell/Schleswig-Holstein. This makes Klixbuell the site with by far the longest operating experience of airborne wind energy systems worldwide.
