    摘要: A blade for a wind turbine comprising a blade root portion is described. The blade root portion defines a mounting surface for coupling to a hub or extender of the wind turbine and comprises a plurality of first holes provided with an insert, the blade root portion further comprises a mounting flange arranged in the periphery of the mounting surface and provided with second holes, wherein the inserts comprise a first end embedded in the blade root portion and a second end opposite to the first end, the second end protruding beyond the mounting surface of the blade root portion, and wherein the second ends are fitted in the second holes of the mounting flange and the mounting flange is attached to the blade by means of the inserts. Furthermore, a wind turbine rotor comprising such a blade is described. Methods of manufacturing half a wind turbine blade and a whole wind turbine blade are also described.

    摘要: Flutter-resistant transonic turbomachinery blades and methods for reducing transonic turbomachinery blade flutter are provided. The flutter-resistant transonic turbomachinery blade comprises a transonic turbomachinery blade that includes opposite pressure and suction surfaces extending longitudinally in span from a root to an opposite tip, and extending axially in chord between opposite leading and trailing edges. The flutter-resistant transonic turbomachinery blade includes a local positive camber in or proximate a predicted local region of supersonic flow over the transonic turbomachinery blade. The method comprises predicting a local region of supersonic flow over the transonic turbomachinery blade and inducing the local positive camber to the transonic turbomachinery blade in or proximate the predicted region of supersonic flow.
