The present invention refers to an airborne system (100′) and in particular to an airborne power generation system (100). The airborne power generation system (100) comprises an airborne unit (10) configured (i) as an aerial vehicle (10′), in particular as a kite or a multicopter, and (ii) to harvest and convert wind power into electrical power, a ground unit (50) configured to send and/or receive electrical power to and from the airborne unit (10), respectively, and a coupling and tether unit (30) for mechanically and electrically coupling the airborne unit (10) to the ground unit (50) and configured to transmit electrical power between the airborne unit (10) and the ground unit (50). The airborne unit (10) comprises a plurality of motor/generator units (12) each of which having a wind harvesting/propelling rotor (14) mechanically coupled thereto and groups (16) of motor/generator units (12) and their assigned electrical transmission paths are electrically and/or galvanically uncoupled, insulated, isolated and/or separated with respect to each other at least in the airborne unit (10) and the coupling and tether unit (30).
