When the sky becomes a source of energy: airborne wind turbines versus ground-based turbines
3 September 2025
Imagine this: an airship gliding across the sky, but instead of passengers—megawatts of clean energy. This is not science fiction; it is the reality being created by the Chinese company SAWES. Their latest innovation—the S1500 airborne wind turbine, reminiscent of an airship—is already preparing for flight tests. Filled with helium, the unit ascends to an altitude of 1,500 meters, where winds are three times stronger than at ground level. Which means energy output rises by nearly a factor of 27 compared with ground-based wind turbines. A single such “airborne wind turbine” can supply electricity to a small city or a remote settlement.
This is a breakthrough not only in energy, but also in logistics: such turbines can be rapidly deployed in hard-to-reach regions—from the Far East to the Arctic—without building roads or transmission lines.
Interestingly, this skyward trend also has a Russian dimension. The 'New Generation Airships' project is already developing eco-friendly airships for cargo transport, monitoring, and more. In the future, projects for autonomous power supply are not out of the question.
Do you support the trend? It is time to move to the next level: to create the hybrid platforms of the future—eco-friendly, mobile, independent of infrastructure. Share your thoughts in the comments!
We stand on the threshold of an airborne energy revolution.
Russia can not only follow the trend—it can lead it.
Be part of the breakthrough. Invest in 'New Generation Airships'—in technologies that will lift us higher.
The future is not on the ground. It is in the clouds.
