Conclusion STRENGTH SIZE MATTERS R&D oriented Rotor blades & turbines of the future Unique expertise in Composites necessitate the re-evaluation and re- Technology transfer from Aerospace conception of the systems. Manpower Capacity Designing in the range of 5-10 MW pushes Experienced in manufacturing support technology to the limit. “Scaling” existing solutions to future size will be neither cost efficient nor safe. Current skills will be insufficient. Leaded by Wind Industry design specialists A2 Wind is and thinks different. We transfer know-how from Space, Defense, Aviation for your next generation of rotor blades and converters. 6,86 € 29-Feb-12 © A2 Wind 2012 18
