Wind Turbine Blade Design

Just like an aeroplane''s wing, wind turbine blades work by generating lift due to their curved shape. The side with the most curve generates low air pressure while high pressure air beneath pushes on the

Article 5: The Single Wind Turbine: From the Wind to the Blades

We begin by noting the size of the turbine and the layout of the wind farm in which it is located. We then explain why a turbine looks as it does today: why it has three blades, why the blades taper and twist,
