Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for recovering power from remote vehicles near a landing surface. Air turbulence from a remote vehicle near a landing surface is detected and measured. When the air turbulence exceeds a threshold, a subset of landing surface components corresponding to sections of the landing surface with attached wind power generators are determined for wind power generation from the detected air turbulence. The wind power generators of the subset of landing surface components are exposed from their protective coverings, and the subset of landing surface components are reoriented towards the source of the air turbulence, tracking the remote vehicle generating the air turbulence. Power generated by the wind power generators can be stored and used to recharge remote vehicles that land at the landing surface.
