It is a two edged sword, previously we have talked about the good side of this energy system, today lets have a look on the other side of it.
Kite energy as we know, need to be launch and pull back every time. You have to launch it so it could fly up high in the sky, and after finish using or when the weather is really bad (eg thunderstorm) , you have to keep it back otherwise it might be struck by thunder and damaged.
Imagine when the rope suddenly snap off and the kite drop into someone inventory or hurt a passenger, who is gonna held responsibility for the accident? How would the insurance company handle the case? Cases like this need to be considered and the potential hazard it will cause must be minimized if not eliminated.
Since the kite can reach up to few hundred meters, we couldn't really drive its direction. This means that it might be floating here and there depending on the wind direction. So it usually requires some lightening like what we usually see in a lighthouse or high-rise cable station. This is to make sure it is visible to aircraft. Besides, it must be operated away from the airport to prevent any accident, collision and signal interruption.
