You could attach the kites to the blimp though? I'd imagine you could make the ground tether/power cable cheaper and lighter by using a heavier duty transformer with higher voltage, which would be more viable on the blimp. Then have the blimp spread out a fleet of kites when at correct altitude with simpler electronics.
