About us
KiteX was founded on a simple but powerful idea: to tap into the potential of wind energy in a smarter way.
Innovation, experience, execution
Inspired by kites
Inspired by the efficiency of kites, our initial vision was to harness the wind with turbine designs that need far less material than traditional wind turbines – aiming for a 3 to 10 times reduction. With the TWT-11 we achieved up to a 13× mass reduction.
Eight years of R&D
Our early concepts explored kite-powered systems with guy-wire supported towers. We have since evolved the approach to deliver the same material savings through a more conventional, highly efficient turbine design. The TWT-11 is the result of 8 years of intense research and development.
The experience gained from airborne and ultra-portable wind turbines has been translated directly into the TWT-11 design.
Designed and built in Denmark
KiteX designs and builds wind turbines locally in Denmark. From the HQ in Lillerød we plan to support local markets with affordable, high-performing turbines.
The team combines experience from many industries. Designing and building one of the most advanced small wind turbines takes a diverse set of skills and a commitment to quality.
