Abstract :
In this paper, an innovative concept to convert the huge kinetic energy stored in landing aircraft into electricity is identified and presented. An appropriate technical route involving linear machines to implement this concept is proposed. Some challenges and possible applications are discussed. Simulation results on feeding the electricity generated back to the power grid are given.
