Abstract
The present invention concerns a rotor blade for a wind power plant having an aerodynamic profile. The rotor blade has a main rotor body with an aerodynamic profile and a tip. The tip extends away from a plane of the rotor blade and in a direction of at least one of a low pressure side or a high pressure side of the main rotor body. The tip includes a tip upper edge, a tip leading edge, and a tip trailing edge. At least a portion of the tip leading edge is curved such that a width of the tip defined between the tip leading edge and the tip trailing edge is reduced towards the upper edge.
