Kyo - the next generation of airborne wind energy

Kyo [kiːoʊ] sets new standards in high-altitude wind energy. Building on the proven success of our pioneering Venyo (PN-14) system, Kyo takes airborne wind to the next level — ideal for decentralized energy supply with high demand.

As a key technology for the green energy transition, Kyo delivers clean, stable power with more full-load hours and a target LCOE of less than 10 cents per kilowatt hour. That makes airborne wind not just sustainable, but also predictable, accessible, and economically competitive — even in the long term.

And yet Kyo is about more than performance and economics. What once seemed a mere flight of fancy is now flying at high altitudes — turning wind into a foundation for energy security, system resilience, and a future free from fossil fuel dependency.

Kyo’s energy yield: Where wind becomes impact

Depending on wind conditions, a Kyo system generates up to 1,780 MWh of clean energy per year — enough to supply electricity to around 700 households. The graph below shows how closely energy output tracks with average wind speed — and how effectively Kyo taps into the power of high-altitude winds. What once passed over us unused is now a driving force for a resilient energy future.

Scalable wind power for energy-intensive projects.

Kyo is a high-altitude wind system built for projects with serious power demands. Even in hard-to-reach locations, it reliably delivers up to 450 kW of power and 1,780 MWh of clean energy per year.

Fully containerized, Kyo is quick to install and requires no complex logistics or civil works. As a complement to diesel or solar setups, the kite system enables autonomous, sustainable energy supply — and brings the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) down to less than 10 cents per kilowatt hour.

1 Kite

Our kites capture the high-altitude winds to generate energy. They are made of high-performance textiles to ensure their durability. Air intakes and air brakes allow changing the aerodynamic profile during start, operation, and landing. Steering lines connect the kite’s canopy to the control pod below. A line system inside the canopy allows reefing it for storage.

2 Control Pod

The brain of our system: The control pod ensures optimal and secure flight for continuous, efficient energy generation. It contains the autopilot system that steers the kite. Several installed sensors continuously measure all relevant signals. It is powered by a ram air turbine.

3 Tether

The tether connects the control pod and the winch inside the ground station. It is made of HMPE and specially developed for applications with a high demand for safety (e.g., cranes and lifts).

4 Launch & landing system

A reliable and flexible launch and landing system is required to safely launch and land the power kite. The mast can be lowered to attach or unmount it completely.

5 Ground station and grid connection module

The compact design of our ground station makes it easy to transport and quick to install. It contains the winch with generator & gearbox, control cabinets, inverter, and the energy storage system.

6 Tripod with ring mount

The whole system stands on a simple three-legged steel structure mounted on small concrete plates. A yaw system corrects the ground station’s alignment with the wind direction.

According to BlueWise Marine’s 2023 GIS analysis, around 4,000 suitable sites were identified in Germany where roughly 13,000 airborne wind energy systems could be installed—equivalent to about 19 GW of technically deployable capacity, more than 90 % of it on land unavailable to conventional wind turbines.
With our tower- and foundation-free kite generators, operating at up to 750 m altitude, we can harness this high-altitude wind resource directly and deliver wind power at locations where traditional systems cannot be deployed.
