Abstract
The Betz limit sets a theoretical upper limit for the power production by turbines expressed as a maximum power coefficient of 16/27. Betz’s theory is accurate and it is based on the calculation of kinetic energy.

We completed the paragraph "The advantage of using an airplane wing profile to recover
additional energy".
We added a paragraph "Synthesis scheme".
