Abstract

A different approach for harvesting the wind energy with an actively controlled pitch-plunge aeroelastic system is investigated. The paper present some theoretical considerations and results regarding an oscillating wing. The performances of the flapping wing system were investigated numerically and experimentally for the power extraction process.
