Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine that is supported in the air without a tower. A tether would be used to transmit energy to the ground. These systems would have the advantage of tapping an almost constant wind and doing so without a set of slip rings or yaw mechanism, without the expense of tower construction. The main disadvantage is that kites and "helicopters" come down when there is insufficient wind. These schemes require a very long power cable and an aircraft exclusion zone. As of 2006, no commercial airborne wind turbines are in regular operation. 4, record 4, English, - airborne%20wind%20turbine

L'idée d'un parc aérien d'éoliennes semble tout droit sortie de la science-fiction. Il serait doté de deux rotors et produirait de l'électricité à une hauteur de cinq kilomètres où soufflent des vents forts et réguliers. Cette centrale «volante» serait maintenue par un câble qui transporterait l'électricité collectée jusqu'au sol. Elle flotterait dans le ciel comme un cerf-volant qui se stabiliserait une fois dans l'air. Toutefois, il semble encore improbable que ce type d'éolienne aérienne soit un jour construit. 5, record 4, French, - %C3%A9olienne%20a%C3%A9rienne
