Abstract
A wind turbine blade including a shell structure defining a leading edge and a trailing edge, and an upwind shell and a downwind shell joined along at least one of the leading edge or the trailing edge. The shell structure includes an assembly of preformed parts processed into a collection of prefabricated laminates. The invention also includes a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade, the method includes processing a number of preformed parts into a collection of prefabricated laminates and assembling the collection of prefabricated laminates to build a shell structure defining a leading edge and a trailing edge.
