A deployable lighter-than-air wind rotor for intermittent wind loads consists of inflatable blades attached to a tether via a hub. The tether is fixed to the hub. Inflated and sent aloft during windy conditions, the rotor (blades and hub) twists the tether to transmit rotational force to the tether's power-take-off. When the wind subsides, the rotor is reeled-in for storage.
