PROBLEM STATEMENT & DELIVERABLES
The goal of this project is to design, build, and reliably test a powered, human-controlled tethered glider specifically for use as an airborne wind energy system (or AWT)
Tethered glider capable of continuous circular flight Integration with current base station 30 flights, each 3 minutes or longer, with tether tension and glider position recorded Functional simulation of flight path

KEY CONCERNS
1. Weather Rochester has variable weather
Take advantage of weather forecasting Schedule practice flying in MSD 1
2. Inaccurate Simulation Improper understanding of flight mechanics
Consult with subject matter experts
3. Failure to Achieve Stable Flight in a Continuous Circular Path Inadequate control system design
Consult with subject matter experts Schedule practice flying in MSD 1
