The Buoyant Air Turbine consists of the following components (i) Motor-generator (ii) Turbine (iii) Gearbox (iv) Transmission Cables (v) Balloon. CFD analysis is done for the model designed in CREO, with the help ANSYS by giving input of thermophysical properties of the fluid and faces of inlet and outlet to the model.
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, [1] thus benefiting from the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes, while avoiding the expense of tower construction, [2] or the need for slip rings or yaw mechanism. An electrical generator may be on the ground
Buoyant airborne turbines (BATs) are powerful, energy-efficient, adaptive, and environment-friendly. They can be utilized as aerial base stations to expand the
The preliminary calculation has shown the volume of 19.16 m 3 of hydrogen gas is required to make the entire Airborne Wind Turbine (AWT) float in the air. The length of the airfoil to accommodate the volume is found to be 2.82 m. Numerical analysis of the balloon model is done using ANSYS FLUENT.

A Buoyant Airborne Turbine (BAT) concept involves a rotor situated in the space between an aerostat-filled ring and a floating diffuser, enhancing its aerodynamic performance compared to ground-based horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). This buoyant airborne turbine is lifted into the air using buoyancy force and ascends
The Buoyant Air Turbine (BAT), a pioneering project developed by MIT researchers and graduates at Altaeros Energies since the early 2010s, stands out as one such innovation. Unlike traditional wind turbines, the BAT is designed to float to higher altitudes to harness the stronger and steadier winds found at those heights to produce a
The paper presents the effect of fluctuating yaw angle and wind speed on the performance of a horizontal axis airborne wind turbine of three different shell shapes for the high altitude operational conditions. For this purpose, a numerical analysis has been performed by considering the ranges of yaw angle and wind speed of 0 ° − 20 ° and 10 m

Strong ropes are used to hold the Buoyant Air Turbine (BAT) at a height of 1,000 feet . It generates double the wind power generated by tower‐mounted turbines of the same size, reducing the cost of electricity for remote sites and microgrids. Aerostats can survive snowfalls, hurricane-level winds and have features to ensure safe landing.

Kiwee One: an airborne wind turbine. An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, thus benefiting from the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes, while avoiding the expense of tower construction, or the need for slip rings or yaw mechanism.An
Buoyant airborne wind turbines BATs are also considered as self-regulating turbines because of their least dependence on wind patterns [39], [40]. The design concept of the BAT is analogous to Diffuser-Augmented Wind Turbine (DAWT) or ducted wind turbine (DWT) that shell/duct further increases the axial velocity and
