Embodiments of the present invention provide a wind turbine blade system comprising a first blade portion coupled to a wind turbine hub; a second blade portion coupled to the wind turbine hub; and a connector that connects a tip of the first blade portion to a tip of the second blade portion. In some embodiments, each of the first blade portion and the second blade portion may be connected to the connector such that a pitch of each blade portion can be independently adjusted. The system may also include various means coupled to the hub and to the first and second blade portions to adjust a pitch of each of the first and second blades.
