Abstract
A rotor blade with a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the rotor blade is designed and configured for being exposed to a fluid flowing substantially from the leading edge to the trailing edge) of the rotor blade, the rotor blade includes at least one sensor for detecting flow characteristics of the fluid, and the rotor blade further includes at least one actuator for producing an anti-noise signal. The sensor and the actuator are both arranged at the surface of the rotor blade, and the actuator is arranged and prepared such that flow-induced edge noise of the rotor blade, which is generated by the fluid, is at least partly cancelled out by the anti-noise signal. The disclosure furthermore relates to a wind turbine including at least one such rotor blade.
