Leading edge protection with reduced noise impact

A wind turbine blade (10) comprising a tip region, a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the wind turbine blade (10) is provided with a leading edge protection (60),

• wherein the leading edge protection comprises a leading edge axis that is fitted on at least part of the leading edge (18) of the wind turbine blade (10), and wherein the leading edge protection (60) extends between the leading edge and a first edge (62) downstream a first side (26) of the wind turbine blade (10) as well as between the leading edge and a second edge (63) downstream a second side (24) of the wind turbine blade (10),
• wherein the leading edge protection (60) comprises a first part (64), wherein the first edge (62) is non-parallel with a natural transition line (48) of the wind turbine blade (10) along the first part (64) of the leading edge protection (60), wherein the natural transition line is a line at which laminar flow at an operational condition at a design point of the wind turbine blade (10) transitions into turbulent flow on or over a surface of the wind turbine blade (10), and
• wherein the leading edge protection (60) is arranged to cross the natural transition line of the wind turbine blade (10) such that the first edge (62) is arranged upstream of the natural transition line along one or more regions and is further arranged downstream of the natural transition line along one or more other regions along the first part (64) of the wind turbine blade (10).
