#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Wind Turbine Blade 7 parts 3× Long composite aerofoil that captures wind energy on a turbine rotor. Two fiberglass shells bonded over internal spar caps and shear webs form a hollow beam that twists from a thick circular root to a thin tip, transferring aerodynamic load into the hub through a bolted root joint.
2 Cast Hub 1×
3 Spinner (Nose Cone) 1×
4 Wind Turbine Pitch System 6 parts 3× One per blade
