Centrifugally Stiffened Rotor (CSR) as a model for an AWES?

[PierreB]

Some @Windy_Skies’ comments can be related to the mode of operation of the CSR, particularly about the tether-blade alignment:

Some more on that: [Propeller of....PLANES?!] @tallakt talked about rigid wings and adding control surfaces elsewhere. You can see that implemented here. Related perhaps: Introduction to Control Line Flying | Control Line Wired For Excitement I thought I posted this before, maybe not. Edit, see: Theoretical drag of a Tether - #31 by Windy_Skies And: torqueless rotors (at 41:30).

See the video attached to the last comment.

I think that in AWE transposition, the wind force will tilt any CSR disk loading, in addition to transform the disk plan into a cone which becomes narrow as wind force increases (as for a faster and faster rotation resulting in an increase of the lift, as explained in the comments above).
