Kite power flight data acquired on 8 October 2019

Kite power flight data acquired on 8 October 2019. For this specific test, the 25m² leading edge inflatable V3 kite was flown. The measurements were performed with the 100 kW technology development platform of Kitepower B.V., which is a spin-off company from Delft University of Technology. For this particular test flight, the kite power system was equipped with a Leading Edge Inflatable (LEI) V3 kite. The traction force was transferred to the ground station by a tether made of Dyneema. A general description of the kite power system is given in the work of Van der Vlugt and Salma.
