Makani was a project to develop a commercial-scale airborne wind turbine, culminating in a flight test of the Makani M600 off the coast of Norway. All Makani software has now been open-sourced. This repository contains the working Makani flight simulator, controller (autopilot), visualizer, and command center flight monitoring tools. Additionally, almost all avionics firmware is also included, albeit potentially not in a buildable state, due to the removal of some third-party proprietary code. We hope that this code will be inspirational and useful to the kite-based windpower and wider communities.

Some of the code for the tools is fun to read https://github.com/google/makani/blob/c421e4497dd09c86b01725... This is not proper Java, at all. But it's what a lot of Java code looks like because it's a good choice for inexperienced devs or…
