A rotation-stabilized beamed-energy receiver, and associated systems and methods, including an aircraft carrying a rotating electromagnetic energy receiver that, when rotated, is supported by centripetal force in a selected shape and/or orientation. Accordingly, the receiver can be made from very thin and/or otherwise lightweight/flexible materials, while performing an energy-receiving function.
