How do I calculate the lift force of my kite?

You can use the `get_lift_force` tool by providing the kite's surface area, wind speed, air density, and lift coefficient.

Can I estimate the energy capture area?

Yes, the `calculate_power_zone_impact` tool calculates both the impact factor and the sweep area based on the tether length.

What is the difference between true wind and apparent wind?

True wind is the ambient wind speed, while apparent wind is the effective wind speed felt by the kite due to its own movement. You can calculate this using `calculate_apparent_wind`.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate the total lift force using get_lift_force, estimate effective wind speeds with calculate_apparent_wind, and evaluate energy capture potential via calculate_power_zone_impact. It also provides performance summaries through get_kite_efficiency_profile to help model kite flight dynamics and power generation.
