A bridle system and roll control sheave for quickly and accurately directing the roll of an airborne wing in an airborne wind energy system is disclosed. A pair of medial bridle segments are connected to a sheave which is placed within the fuselage. A roll control motor is preferably connected to the sheave and is controlled by an electronic controller to rotate and change the relative lengths of the medial bridle segments.
