Overview
Rob had the idea for Windlift in 2004 while working in a biotechnology laboratory at UW Madison. An inveterate tinker Rob believed that recent advances in computer and materials technology would enable a new class of tethered aircraft to harness high altitude wind energy. After discovering the foundational work of Miles Loyd in 2007 Rob abandoned a career in biotechnology for Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) and never looked back.
