In summary, these findings indicate that the conventional structural layout of a wind turbine blade is suboptimal under the static load conditions, suggesting an opportunity to reduce blade weight and cost.

On wind energy context, the blades of horizontal axes wind turbines have, in their majority, a closed multicellular thin-walled cross section, which varies along the blade length due to

Most airfoils used in wind turbines have a larger area above compared to below the chord line. A line connecting the leading and trailing edge that bisects the area of an airfoil is called a camber line.
