A wind turbine arrangement, that includes: a wind turbine blade; an inflatable platform positioned in the wind turbine blade; and an inflatable outer pressure ring surrounding the platform, wherein the outer pressure ring, when inflated with a gaseous fluid, fixes the platform in the wind turbine blade by generating a normal friction force between the platform and the wind turbine blade. In a first wind turbine arrangement, after the platform has been inflated with a gaseous fluid, the inflated platform includes a material that contains the gaseous fluid and is continuously distributed throughout the area defined by a circular or oval shape of the platform. In a second wind turbine arrangement, the platform comprises a fibrous material disposed in the platform. In a third wind turbine arrangement, a tarpaulin edge is positioned above the platform and positioned interior to the outer pressure ring.
