Land based wind turbines are not used to their fullest potential due to the inconsistency of wind near the earth's surface. The goal was to determine if a structure could be designed and built to harness wind energy at high altitudes. Using a non-rigid airship, a design was created to lift wind turbines up to a desired height while still achieving a moderate power output.
