A wind turbine 10 and methods for controlling wind turbine thrust are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes measuring a tilt angle 42 of a wind turbine 10 in a loaded position using a measuring device 100. The wind turbine includes a tower 12, a nacelle 16 mounted on the tower, a rotor 20 coupled to the nacelle, and a plurality of rotor blades 22 coupled to the rotor. The method further includes comparing the tilt angle 42 to a predetermined tilt angle for the wind turbine 10 and, if the tilt angle 42 exceeds the predetermined tilt angle, adjusting a pitch of at least one of the plurality of rotor blades 22 such that the tilt angle 42 is less than or equal to the predetermined tilt angle. |
