The process of making wind blades
Let’s simplify the complex process of making a wind turbine blade by thinking about it like a sandwich. We start with the bread, a large blade-shaped mold filled with dry fibers. Next, we toast it: we inject a resin into the fibers, it fills all the air pockets between the fibers, then we heat it to produce hardened carbon fiber.

A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases.
There are more than 500 U.S. manufacturing facilities specializing in wind components such as blades, towers, and generators, as well as turbine assembly across the country. In fact, modern wind turbines are increasingly cost-effective, reliable, and have scaled up in size to multi-megawatt power ratings.
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases.
The fundamental mechanics of wind turbines is straightforward: as the wind moves across the surface of the blade, it causes a difference in air pressure, with reduced pressure on the side facing the wind and greater pressure on the opposing side. This pressure differential generates a force that causes the blade to rotate around its axis, which .
