<p>A joint sleeve (102) for assembling together a first blade section (104) and a second blade section (106) of a rotor blade assembly (100) is disclosed. The joint sleeve (102) may include an outer surface (146) and an inner surface (134) defining a cavity (136). The cavity (136) may be configured to receive a joint end (130) of the first blade section (104) and a joint end (131) of the second blade section (106). The joint sleeve (102) may also include a plurality of openings (144) defined between the outer (146) and inner (134) surfaces. The openings (144) may be configured to received fasteners (142) for securing the joint ends (130, 131) of the first and second blade sections (104, 106) withint the cavity (136). Additionally, a profile of the outer surface (146) may be configured to generally correspond to an aerodynamic profile of the first and second blade sections (104. 106) such that a substantially continous aerodynamic profile is defined between the first and second balde sections (104, 106) when the joint ends (130, 131) are inserted with the cavity (136).</p> |
