&gt; I think the fairly simple answer is that you don&#x27;t stack them or allow for any interference at all. If your kite goes up to 250m and has a 1km tether you space all your launchers on a 1km &quot;radius&quot; hexagonal grid.<p>That would rule out a great many locations.<p>&gt;  Your wind farm takes up more space but at first that&#x27;s no problem at all.<p>A regular wind turbine has a small base and has only one active component. To have a more complex set-up with many more moving parts including the nacelle itself moving around in 3 dimensions is a significant complication that should be offset by a gain, it should not lead to an extra loss.<p>&gt; Ultimately though one of the benefits of these things is that when they&#x27;re not in use they&#x27;re stowed.<p>Windmills are sited such that they are rarely idle, it happens but that&#x27;s money being lost and a very large amount of the pre-work in siting a wind power park is to make sure that idle time is as low as possible. Yes, it is nice they&#x27;re stowed when not in use but that&#x27;s a situation you want to avoid.<p>&gt; It&#x27;s probably a pipe dream to suggest that people would be accepting of them, but stranger things have happened.<p>If the windmills around here are any indication: prior to the installation there is a lot of friction, reaching a peak at the moment the foundations are poured. Then there is a kind of reluctant acceptance and a decade later people say they would <i>miss</i> the machines if they disappeared. It is an odd progression, I guess people are simply against a change for something unknown.
