Energy Harvesting Airport
An example system for harvesting energy from air vehicles thrust operations includes a runway surface for air vehicle takeoff and landing, where the runway surface comprises a door, and where the door is openable to a cavity positioned below the runway surface. A plurality of wind turbine blades is positioned within the cavity, and the plurality of wind turbine blades are rotatable by air flowing into the cavity. The system also includes a generator coupled to the plurality of wind turbine blades such that the generator produces electricity in response to the rotation of the plurality of wind turbine blades.
