AN AEROSHELL EXTENDER PIECE FOR A WIND TURBINE BLADE

摘要

A flexible aeroshell extender piece for an inboard part of a wind turbine blade is described, along with an associated method of manufacture. The flexible aeroshell is formed by first assembling a consolidated aeroshell piece, and then making a series of slits at the trailing edge of the aeroshell piece. Such a construction provides an 5 aeroshell having a relatively flexible trailing edge section, which allows for bending or flexing of the aeroshell trailing edge during wind turbine blade operation.
