Thinair testing at Dunedin, New Zealand. Initial testing of the turbine confirms its operation and power output. The anticipated benefit of low noise from the single blade was demonstrated and the turbine was able to be shut down in periods of strong wind, an important benefit of the teetering hub.

Thinair installed at Waitati. Further development of the turbine, electronics and software is now proceeding at the Waitati site, with the second turbine installed. A grid inter-tied inverter will also be evaluated, with the aim of connecting Thinair to the electricity network.
