Airborne Energy is a startup company in small scale wind turbines. It is developing a novel vertical axis turbine aimed at the market where wind conditions may not be ideal. With the variable and turbulent wind that are typical in domestic and small industrial settings, the standard ‘propeller' design of horizontal axis wind turbine is not optimal. The Airborne design seeks to take advantage of wind from all directions over a wide range of speeds, while avoiding the disadvantages traditionally associated with the vertical axis approach.
