ANNOUNCE: Fully working version of 4-point kite-power system simulator available

[Uwe Fechner]

Dear kite-power friends,

a view days ago I published the first 4-point kite model, that
can be steered via a joystick and visualized in 3D.

It is completely implemented in Python (using the Numba compiler
for the core loops) and therefore easy to read and to modify.

It is not fully real-time capable yet, because look-up tables
for lift and drag are not yet in place.

More information you can find at:

https://bitbucket.org/ufechner/freekitesim

The submitted version of the paper, that explains the theoretical
background of this model can be found here:

Give it a try!

Thanks a lot for the help from Christian Friedrichs, Delft.

Best regards:

Uwe Fechner
