Abstract
A multirotor wind turbine comprising a tower, a suspension arm, a nacelle, and a rotor carried by the nacelle and configured to rotate about a rotor axis to drive a drive train in the nacelle, wherein the tower holds the suspension arm, and the suspension arm holds the nacelle. To facilitate safer and better access to the nacelle or drive train, the suspension arm is configured as a platform to provide support for personnel e.g. during maintenance and repair of the nacelle.
