L'éolienne à axe vertical comprend également une aube directrice montée sur la structure porteuse, qui comprend un vertex à l'avant du troisième axe vertical orienté à 90 degrés depuis une ligne située entre les premier et deuxième axes. L'aube directrice présente également des parties d'aube symétriques gauche et droite qui s'étendent en direction des rotors de manière à diriger le flux d'air provenant du vent principalement en direction des parties des rotors à l'extérieur des premier et deuxième axes. L'aube directrice a également tendance à maintenir l'éolienne à axe vertical orientée avec l'axe de symétrie de l'aube directrice pointant vers l'avant dans le vent. Des volets de déflecteurs mobiles montés pivotants à proximité immédiate des extrémités opposées des parties de pale peuvent dévier l'air au moins partiellement et l'éloigner des rotors. La structure de cette éolienne peut supporter une structure sans rapport avec la production d'énergie, telle qu'un restaurant.
