  • Patent number: 8961143
    Abstract: A rotor blade of a wind power plant in which the rotor blade has a longitudinal extension that extends from a rotor blade root substantially to a rotor blade tip. At least in one region of the rotor blade, an aerodynamic cross-sectional profile is provided, which has a leading edge (nose) and a trailing edge, which are connected via a suction side and a pressure side of the cross-sectional profile. The rotor blade is subdivided at least in a longitudinally extended section into a front rotor blade section with the leading edge and a rear rotor blade section with the trailing edge. The rear region of the front rotor blade section and the adjacent front region of the rear rotor blade section are connected through an I-beam.

  • Publication number: 20120107129
    Abstract: A rotor blade (10) of a wind power plant, wherein the rotor blade (10) has a longitudinal extension (11), which extends from a rotor blade root (12) substantially to a rotor blade tip (13), wherein, at least in one region of the rotor blade (10), an aerodynamic cross-sectional profile (15) is provided, which has a leading edge (16) (nose) and a trailing edge (17), which are connected via a suction side (18) and a pressure side (19) of the cross-sectional profile (15). The rotor blade is characterized in that the rotor blade (10) is subdivided at least in a longitudinally extended section (20) into a front rotor blade section (21) with the leading edge (16) and a rear rotor blade section (22) with the trailing edge (17), wherein the rear region (23) of the front rotor blade section (21) and the adjacent front region (24) of the rear rotor blade section (22) are connected through an I-beam (25).
