China's high-altitude wind power technology has achieved a major breakthrough, as the domestically developed S4000 Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System (SAWES) recently completed a test at a base in Northwest China, CCTV News reported on Saturday.
An upgraded version of the earlier S2000 SAWES, and the successful completion of its full-process flight validation marks the transition of China's stratospheric high-altitude wind power technology from the iterative development phase toward the engineering deployment phase, according to the report.
The test covered the entire process of ascent, station‑keeping, power generation testing, and smooth recovery, with all indicators meeting the required standards, fully verifying the system's reliability in complex and extreme high‑altitude environments, the report said.
As an upgrade from the S2000 model, the S4000 adopts a new configuration with significantly improved overall performance. Its maximum operational altitude reaches 4,000 meters, making it suitable for deployment in the vast majority of regions across China.
It can directly adapt to mainstream grid power supply requirements and has a design service life of up to 20 years.
Unlike conventional low-altitude wind turbines, which are often referred to as "windmills," the system employs a flying device.

二 | (ECNS) -- Starry Lee Wai-king, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Monday encouraged Hong Kong people and businesses operating on the Chinese mainland to leverage their strengths to facilitate Hong Kong's deeper integration into and service to China's overall development strategy. Lee addressed a sharing session hosted by the Office of the Government of the HKSAR in Beijing and the Hong Kong China Chamber of Commerce, with about 200 business representatives attending. She noted that the Legislative Council will act as a promoter and supervisor to help implement Hong Kong's upcoming first five-year development plan, and said Hong Kong can serve as a bridge for mainland tech-focused companies expanding into global markets through its international platforms. Arsene Yiu Kai-cheuk, director of the HKSAR Government's Beijing Office, noted that with the start of the country's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), Hong Kong institutions will step up exchanges to help residents better seize national development opportunities.
