"REINFORCED DELTA-WING BLADE FOR WIND TURBINE" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The flat-plate type wind turbine rotor blade comprises a rigid spoke having a single thin flexible skin associated therewith. The skin is formed to provide a delta-wing and a flap extension. The delta- wing and the flap extension are angularly disposed at about 25° to each other. The spoke lies along the junction of the delta-wing and the flap extension. A substantially rigid peripheral member extends along the margin of the skin. The peripheral member and the spoke are joined to provide a frame to which the skin is secured. Arrays of parallel re- inforcing rib members extend between the spoke and the peripheral member. These rib members are mounted on the pressure surface of the skin. The ribs on the delta-wing are positioned at an angle of about 60° from the axis of the spoke, the ribs on the flap extension are positioned at an angle of about 75° from said axis. They therefore coincide with the main flow paths of the air flow over the blade surface. The blade is reduced in weight and cost relative to a conventional double-walled blade or a single skin blade of a thickness sufficient to eliminate the need for reinforcing members.
