Means of extracting rotational energy from the vortex created at aircraft wing tips, of a turbine with four blades which are located in the cross flow of the vortex and attached downstream of the wing tip are described. The turbine blades are attached to a core. When the aircraft is in motion, the rotation of the core transmits energy to a centrally attached shaft. The rotational energy thus generated is utlized within the airfoil or aircraft fuselage.
