Wind Turbine Blade Technology: Designing for Efficiency
Blades are typically designed with an airfoil shape, similar to that of an aircraft wing. This shape is optimized to generate lift and minimize drag as the wind flows over the surface. which is then transformed into electrical energy through a
How aircraft generate electricity and what happens if it fails
Aircraft generators. The electrical system of a modern-day airliner is incredibly complex, but at the same time, simple in its operation. The spinning of these blades also turns a central shaft
AC Generator
Twelve kilowatts is the practical limit to the size of an aircraft dc generator. Aircraft now have ac generators with ratings up to 90 kilovolt-ampere (kVA). Basic Generator. Generators used to produce an alternating current are called AC

Aircraft Propeller Theory
This should come as no surprise as a propeller blade is essentially a twisted, rotating wing. A blade has a root and a tip, where the tip is located the outer-most region of the blade. The root sections of each propeller
Turbine blade
OverviewIntroductionEnvironment and failure modesMaterialsCoolingSee alsoNotes
A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. Each turbine disc has many blades. As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines. The blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the combustor. The turbine blades are often th
