Abstract

Airborne wind energy system comprising a wind-engaging member with a bridle system (3) connected to a tether (2), a tether storage device for winding and unwinding the tether (2), an energy converting device connected to the tether storage device, a steering device to generate a steered movement of the wind engaging member (4), for example to steer the relative angle of the wind engaging member with respect to tether, one or more control units for steering the wind-engaging member (4) and/or winding and unwinding the tether (2), wherein the wind engaging member (4) is a kite or kite-like structure, wherein the bridle (3) comprises a number of separate power- lines (11) that are connected to respective connection points located at or near a leading edge of the wind-engaging member (4), and optionally one or more steering lines (16) that are connected to the wind engaging member at respective one or more steering points remote from the connections points, wherein the wind-engaging member includes at least one air passage having an operable closing member.
