Blade Design Spreadsheet: 7 2.40 2 4 0.8 6 Blue Cells

This document contains information for designing the blades of a wind turbine, including calculations for the diameter, chord length, and wood width of 6 stations along the blade based on inputs for the tip speed ratio, number of blades, angle of attack, and lift coefficient. Tables provide the radius, angle, recommended chord length and wood width for each station, along with a graph comparing the recommended and used wood widths.
