Analytical mechanics techniques are applied to the construction of three kite flight simulators with applications to airborne wind energy generation and sport uses. All of themwere developed under a minimal coordinate formulation approach. This choice has the main advantage of yi ...
A mathematical model of a kite connected to the ground by two straight tethers of varying lengths is presented and used to study the traction force generated by kites flying in cross-wind conditions. The equations of motion are obtained by using a Lagrangian formulation, which yi ...
