A rotor blade of a wind turbine, the rotor blade comprising:
- a first rotor blade segment having a first shell portion, a second rotor blade segment having a second shell portion, and a joint connecting the first rotor blade segment with the second rotor blade segment between the first shell portion and the second shell portion,
- wherein the joint includes multiple bolts and corresponding inserts,
- wherein the rotor blade further comprises a fairing, the fairing covering the joint and being attached to the first shell portion and the second shell portion by means of an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is an elastomeric adhesive, wherein a leading edge fairing plate of at least four fairing plates is located at a leading edge of the rotor blade, a trailing edge fairing plate of the at least four fairing plates is located at a trailing edge of the rotor blade, a suction side fairing plate of the at least four fairing plates is located at the suction side of the rotor blade, and a pressure side fairing plate of the at least four fairing plates is located at the pressure side of the rotor blade, and wherein the trailing edge fairing plate has a sharp geometry and comprises a trailing edge reinforcement part in between opposite sides of the trailing edge fairing plate.
A rotor blade of a wind turbine, the rotor blade comprising:
- a first rotor blade segment having a first shell portion,
- a second rotor blade segment having a second shell portion,
- a joint connecting the first rotor blade segment with the second rotor blade segment between the first shell portion and the second shell portion,
- a fairing, the fairing covering the joint and being attached to the first shell portion and the second shell portion by means of an adhesive, wherein a leading edge fairing plate is located at a leading edge of the rotor blade, a trailing edge fairing plate is located at a trailing edge of the rotor blade, a suction side fairing plate is located at a suction side of the rotor blade, and a pressure side fairing plate is located at a pressure side of the rotor blade, and wherein the trailing edge fairing plate has a sharp geometry and comprises a trailing edge reinforcement part in between opposite sides of the trailing edge fairing plate.
