Makani aimed to enable more people around the world to have access to clean, affordable wind power by developing energy kites, an airborne wind energy technology that used a wing tethered to a ground station, to efficiently harness energy from the wind. By replacing the massive steel towers of conventional wind turbines with lightweight hardware and smart software, Makani hoped to unlock access to wind resources too expensive or impractical to access with traditional wind technologies. In 2020, Makani’s journey as a company came to an end. Learn more about the team’s 13 year journey building an entirely new type of wind energy technology by visiting: www.x.company/projects/makani
