Hinged wind turbine blade defining an angle in a flap-wise direction

A horizontal axis wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower via a yaw system, a hub mounted rotatably on the nacelle, the hub comprising a blade carrying structure, and at least one wind turbine blade defining an aerodynamic profile between an inner tip and an outer tip, the wind turbine blade comprising:

• a hinge connecting the wind turbine blade to the blade carrying structure, in a hinge region of the wind turbine blade, the hinge region being arranged at a non-zero distance from the inner tip and at a non-zero distance from the outer tip, the wind turbine blade thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle,
• an outer blade part arranged between the hinge region and the outer tip, and
• an inner blade part arranged between the hinge region and the inner tip, wherein the outer blade part extends from the hinge region along a first direction and the inner blade part extends from the hinge region along a second direction, and wherein the first direction and the second direction form an angle, α, there between, where 0°<α<90°,
• wherein the inner tip of the wind turbine blade is free of mechanical connections that cause the pivot movement towards the maximum pivot angle of the wind turbine blade relative to the blade carrying structure.
