Regarding careers in Airborne Wind Energy, Reinhart Paelinck has had a diverse one. After studying Product Development at the University of Antwerp with a thesis in Airborne Wind Energy, he continued working with Moritz Diehl on conceptual multi-kite systems at KU Leuven (and co-organizing AWEC 2011). After that, he became a kite designer at Flysurfer Kiteboarding, best known for developing depowerable single-skin kites. Then he founded Kiteswarms to develop collaborative multi-kite technology to solve scaling problems of rigid wings, and he continues to work on this at Fuchszeug. Fifteen years of experience working with and visiting different teams, many lessons learned. |
