The invention relates to an electrical energy generator system (20) for an aircraft (10), the system comprising a streamlined fairing (21) containing at least one turbine (22) housed in the front portion (21a) of the fairing (21), and an electrical energy generator (23) connected to said turbine. The front portion (21a) of the fairing (21) is fitted with air admission means (26) that are movable between an open position in which the turbine (22) is exposed to the stream of air outside the fairing (21) and a closed position in which the turbine (22) is masked inside the fairing (21). The invention serves to reduce the aerodynamic drag usually caused by turbulence present at a wing tip for a conventional wing having sharp edges during stages of takeoff, climbing, and cruising; and during stages of descent it makes it possible to recover the kinetic and potential energy that has been accumulated by the aircraft during its stages of climbing and cruising.
