Kitemill

17/11/2025

Last week, our team passed 200 flights in 2025. A milestone like this says a lot about who we are. Not just that we fly often, but that we improve every part of what we do, every single week.

It’s easy to overlook how much work sits behind each flight: planning, testing, fixing, learning, adapting, and pushing forward. We have built a rhythm where problems turn into improvements, improvements turn into reliability, and reliability drives real progress. That is the story of this team.

What impresses most is how the team support each other:
When something breaks, someone jumps in.
When something needs tuning, someone solves it.
When conditions change, the team adjusts.

That kind of teamwork isn’t luck, it’s commitment.
We deeply appreciate the effort, the attitude, and the professionalism you bring. The 200 flights are the result, but the way you work is the real achievement.

A great day at Kitemill! 🪁

We hosted 40 students from nearby schools for an exciting intro to airborne wind energy — including a tour of our test site, workshop, and live presentations.

The visit was led by Manoj Mandru, once an intern himself, now a senior engineer in aerodynamic and mechanical design. With support from our team — including Nivetha and Oleksi — students got a hands-on look at what may be the most scalable renewable energy tech under development.

We're proud to be supported by the European Innovation Council and the EU Innovation Fund, helping us scale these outreach efforts.

*WARNING* Ironi og sterke følelser 😅skrevet i affekt når jeg ryddet kommentarfeltet! Kunne brukt dager på å svare de verste trollene men det har nok lite for seg. Under er svaret jeg kunne tenkt meg hatt på kommentarene, men da tar det vel fyr i teltet:

Vi blir alltid imponert over hvor raskt folk kan avvise et tiår med ingeniørarbeid og testing samt ledende forskere fra topp universiteter – basert på null innsikt og et halvt minutt i kommentarfeltet. Hatten av for det. Men vi skal ikke være såre.. Det tar tid å svare alle så derfor har vi laget noen standardsvar som du kan bruke om du glemmer Tenk-Tast-Trykk (post) - fritt etter sambandsavdelingens motto i Heggelia. Velg den som passer best til din kommentar:

1.
“Imponerende kunnskapsnivå – og ekstra imponerende å konkludere uten å vite hva teknologien faktisk er eller hvordan den fungerer. Det står respekt av å mene så mye med så lite innsikt.”

2.
“Takk for engasjementet! Det er sjelden man ser så bastante konklusjoner levert med så lite bakgrunnskunnskap. For de som er nysgjerrige, forklarer vi gjerne hva dette faktisk handler om.”

3
“Sterke meninger og null fakta – en kombinasjon vi har sett før når vi utvider publikummet vårt til avkroken vi traff deg. Hvis du noen gang skulle få lyst til å vite hva vi faktisk driver med, står døren åpen.”

4.
“Alltid fascinerende når komplekse løsninger blir forkastet med full overbevisning – av folk som åpenbart aldri har brukt fem minutter på å lese seg opp. Men vi takker for trafikken!”

Asgeir Løno - Kitemill CFO received a visit from Norwegian minister of transpor Jon-Ivar Nygård last week. As an energy production technology, normally we would interact with the minister of energy, but our technology utilitzes the airspace, hence the very good match.
