Wind turbine blade

A blade for a rotor of a wind turbine having a horizontal rotor shaft, the rotor comprising a hub, from which the blade having a longitudinal distance extends in a radial direction when mounted to the hub, the blade having a longitudinal direction with a tip end and a root end and a transverse direction, wherein the blade comprises:

• a profiled contour including a pressure side and a suction side, as well as a leading edge and a trailing edge with a chord having a chord length extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the profiled contour configured to generate a lift when being impacted by an incident airflow, wherein the profiled contour is divided into:
• a root region having a circular or elliptical profile closest to the hub,
• an airfoil region having a lift-generating profile furthest away from the hub, and
• a transition region between the root region and the airfoil region, the transition region having a profile gradually changing in the radial direction from the circular or elliptical profile at the root region to the lift-generating profile of the airfoil region,
• a shoulder having a shoulder width located at a first distance from the blade root end, wherein the airfoil region extends from a second distance from the blade root end, wherein the second distance is smaller than the first distance so that the shoulder is located within the airfoil region and the airfoil region comprises a first airfoil profile being a lift-generating profile.
