A lift generating apparatus (300) for a wind turbine rotor blade (112) including a first sidewall (202,304,326) and an opposing second sidewall (206,306,328) coupled together at a leading edge (210,314,332,402,502,602,702) and at a trailing edge (212,312,334,404,504,604,704). The lift generating apparatus includes at least one forward blade extension (301,400,500) coupled to the rotor blade to define a first airflow channel (320) between the forward blade extension and the rotor blade, and at least one aft blade extension (302,600,700) coupled to the rotor blade to define a second airflow channel (342) between the aft blade extension and the rotor blade. |
