Pitch controlled wind turbine with blade connecting members

A pitch controlled wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, a hub mounted rotatably on the nacelle, and at least three wind turbine blades, wherein each wind turbine blade extends between a root end connected to the hub via a pitch mechanism, and a tip end, the wind turbine further comprising at least three blade connecting members, each blade connecting member extending between a connection point on one wind turbine blade and a connection point on a neighbouring wind turbine blade, where the connection point on a given wind turbine blade is arranged at a distance from the root end and at a distance from the tip end of the wind turbine blade,

• wherein the wind turbine further comprises at least three pre-tension members, each pre-tension member being connected to one of the blade connecting members and to a hub part, each pre-tension member thereby providing pre-tension in the blade connecting member to which it is connected, and wherein the pre-tension members are tensioned and arranged to provide an adjustable pre-tension in the blade connecting members.
