| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wind Power (Modern) (wind_power_modern) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Wind Power (Modern) provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Composite Materials (Carbon Fiber) (composite_materials_carbon_fiber) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Composite Materials (Carbon Fiber) provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Electrical Grid (Early Distribution) (electrical_grid_early_distribution) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Electrical Grid (Early Distribution) is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
