The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade comprising first and second sections (1,2) arranged along the length of the blade. Each section (1,2) comprises an aerodynamic fairing (4) with inner and outer surfaces. The fairing (4) extends across the windward and leeward sides of the blade, and a spar extends between the windward and leeward sides. The spar comprises a shear web (6) with a spar cap (7) at either end positioned between the shear web 6 and the inner surface of the fairing (4). The first and second sections (1,2) meet one another at a joint region, wherein, in the vicinity of the joint region, each section has two recesses in the outer surface of the aerodynamic fairing (4). A first recess is above and a second one below the spar such that in the vicinity of each recess the depth of the spar caps (7) is reduced. The first recesses in the respective segments (1,2) is arranged to align with one another and the second recesses in the respective segments are arranged to align with one another when the first and second sections (1,2) are aligned. A first spar cap bridge (22) is moulded onto the outer surface of the fairing (4) in the first pair of aligned recesses and a second spar cap bridge (22) is moulded onto the outer surface of the fairing (4) in the second pair of aligned recesses. |
