Our goals and approach...Identify challenges in design of future large blades Perform detailed design (layup, manufacturability, design standards, analysis) and produce a baseline 100-meter blade; certification-like approach Make this model (and updates) publicly available for use by other researchers Blade weight reduction, structural innovations, studies for large blades and large turbines Investigate new design solution for the identified challenges/barriers and produce refined/updated 100-meter blade design models.
