Power plant floating in the air which generates electric power by wind and transmits the generated power to the ground. Conventionally, a wind-driven generator installed on the ground is selectively positioned at the place where the wind-power energy would be harnessed. It is, however, difficult to always obtain stable wind-power energy, i.e., there are some cases where no wind-power energy is obtained and relatively many cases where little energy is obtained. Founded on this fact, provided is a power-plant floating in the air where stronger wind-power energy exists compared with the ground. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the airborne power plant comprises a vessel body (1), which contains a lighter than-air gas so as to be able to float in the air and having main wings (2) for generating lift by air flow, a wind-driven generator (5) installed on the outer side wall of the vessel body (1), and a cable (8) for transmitting the generated power to the ground and additionally for mooring the vessel body to the ground. |
