无动力飞行器，如风筝，可以提供一种通过系绳将风能从更高的高度传输到地面的方法。尽管世界范围内对利用风筝从更高海拔提取风能的系统的兴趣增加，但对风筝特性（诸如系数和稳定性）的研究是有限的。需要进行这种研究，以增加对风筝的了解，从而能够设计出用于能源提取的特制风筝。本文介绍了一个概念，风能提取从高海拔地区;的Laddermill。此外，它提出了硬件，建立这样的测试，测试程序的风筝和早期的结果测试的商业冲浪风筝。
Non-powered flight vehicles such as kites can provide a means of transmitting wind energy from higher altitudes to the ground via tethers. Although there is increased world wide interest for systems to extract wind energy from higher altitudes with kites, research into kite properties such as the coefficients and the stability is limited. Such research is required to increase the knowledge on kites, which would enable the design of purpose-built kites for energy extraction. This paper presents one of the concepts for wind energy extraction from high altitudes; the Laddermill. Furthermore it presents the hardware that was built to do such tests, test procedures for kites and early results of testing of commercially available surf kites.
