This paper is concerned with the study of optimal curves for a class of energy functionals, subject to the constraint to be tangent to an affine distribution. The abstract results are then applied to a problem arising in elasticity. The proofs rely on the Pontryagine maximum principle and on adequate techniques on Lie groups.
