[A] rotor [configuration which] consists of a turbine inside a duct which flares outwards at the back. 2, record 1, English, - ducted%20rotor

The narrow duct accelerates the air and so the rotor spins more quickly. The main advantage of the ducted rotor is that it can operate in a wide range of winds. Another advantage is that the generator operates at a high rotation rate, so it doesn't require a bulky gearbox, so it can be smaller and lighter. 2, record 1, English, - ducted%20rotor
