This huge airship is a Chinese electric generating power plant
by Inside China Business [1-25-2026].
A Beijing company deployed the world's first large aerial wind turbine, and is ramping up production to meet demand in China's coastal and mountain areas.
The aerial wind turbine successfully hovered at an altitude of 2,000 meters (1.243 miles), and generated electricity to feed local power grids.
The system is rated at 3 megawatts, equivalent to a medium-sized power plant, and can generate electricity for medium factories, or for thousands of homes.
