A wind driven power plant has a vertical axis rotor which is rigidly connected to a center body in turn connected to a rotating base. The base is supported on a fixed pylon by means of a mechanical, or preferably fluidic bearing. The rotor blades are strongly bowed, soft in torsion and provided, near their tip region, with automatic pitch piloting means.

A wind driven power system having a rotor rotating about a vertical axis and power generating means operatively coupled to said rotor, said rotor having at least one blade, said blade being bowed in a vertical plane and torsionnaly soft along the full length thereof and provided with means for varying the pitch thereof according to a predetermined cyclic law of variation which has a frequency of pitch variation equal to the frequency of rotation of the rotor.
