A wind turbine blade 16 has an upper shell member 20 and a lower shell member 22 bonded at a leading 24 and trailing edge 26 of the blade 16 with a bond paste 34 applied between respective forward and rearward edges of the shell members 20,22. At least one of the shell members 20,22 includes a first inspection window 42 defined therein along one of the leading edge or trailing edge at a location corresponding at least to a design minimum bond width 53 of the bond paste 34 applied at the respective leading edge or trailing edge 24,26. The inspection window 42 provides a visible access through the shell member 20,22 such that a visible indication is generated through the inspection window 42 when bond paste 34 is injected and reaches the minimum bond width 53 location in the chord-wise direction. |
