The <strong>ESIG<\/strong> has explored the aerodynamic response of an out-of-plane transformation. This adaptive technique varies the Twist Angle Distribution (TAD), and thus, local angle of attack along the length of the blade. This innovation is being developed into a working blade design. A patent is pending for the design and control aspect of this work.
