This is so cool, but it probably has to be really far from air traffic. I imagine a bunch of these like 100 miles off the coast, providing electricity to a desalination plant and hydrogen generator on the coast
It genuinely pisses me off how cooked "journalism" is that they don't even bother with their pictures, and it's even worse when they just use AI generated images.

can they fly that thingy over my house so I can get some shade and generate power? My electric bills are going as high as that thingy.

Isn’t that a picture of an airship, not a power station?

The power station is airship shaped. The picture does look like it could be a render, not sure.

I think you linked to the wrong article: China tests Boeing 747-length airship airborne wind turbine at 4,000 metres .
