Power-Generating Turbine in a Rotor-Stator Arrangement

A rotor blade for a horizontal axis wind turbine, the rotor blade comprising:

• a fixing section for fixing the rotor blade to a rotary shaft of a rotor of the horizontal axis wind turbine;
• and
• a geometrically adjusted section with a root end,
• wherein the rotor blade extends from the fixing section to the root end, and
• wherein a first section of the root end of the geometrically adjusted section and a second section of a guide panel of a stator of the horizontal axis wind turbine closest to the root end are substantially coplanar.
