“Global wind is a tremendous source of energy - carrying nearly 870 terrawatts in global tropospheric winds," says Mr Bevirt of Joby Energy”

“In comparison, the global demand is 17 terawatts.”

“The devices are portable and relatively inexpensive to build when compared to conventional wind turbines and can generate twice the amount of power.”

“Operating at five times the height of a conventional turbine increases both wind speed and consistency resulting in more power, more often," said Mr Bevirt.”

“The technology can potentially navigate to altitudes of 35,000 feet (10,600m)”
