The present invention relates in a broad aspect to a method for design and modification of airfoils useful for wind turbine applications, which airfoils possess smooth and stable characteristics in stall. These characteristics comprise: (1) No or very little tendency to double stall, (2) Insensitivity or little sensitivity of maximum lift to leading edge roughness, (3) High lift-drag ratio just before maximum lift, (4) Small variations of the aerodynamic loads in stall and (5) Sufficient aerodynamic damping to suppress blade vibrations in stall. The invention further relates to blades and/or airfoil sections in general which posses smooth and stabile characteristics in stall. Also, it relates to a method of implementing the desired shape on an airfoil or a wind turbine blade.
