A rotor blade assembly (100) is disclosed. The rotor blade assembly (100) includes a rotor blade (22) and a blade extension (110). The rotor blade (22) has a pressure side (62), a suction side (64), a leading edge (66), and a trailing edge (68) extending between a tip (54) and a root (56). The rotor blade (22) further has an aerodynamic profile. The blade extension (110) is mounted to the rotor blade (22). The blade extension (110) includes a cutaway mounting portion (120) for mounting the blade extension (110) to the rotor blade (22) such that the blade extension (110) is generally flush with at least one of the pressure side (62) or the suction side (64) of the rotor blade (22). The cutaway mounting portion (120) defines a notch (122) configured to locate the blade extension (110) relative to the rotor blade (22). |
