A pitch controlled wind turbine

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 from a connection point on one wind turbine blade towards 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 each wind turbine blade comprises a leading edge, a leading edge extension, and a blade shell defining a suction side and a pressure side around the blade,
• wherein the leading edge extension extends forward of the leading edge, and the connection point of the respective wind turbine blade is located forward of the leading edge and adjacent the pressure side on the leading edge extension, and each wind turbine blade further comprises a respective fairing extending over at least the leading edge extension,
• wherein the fairing has a profile which is twisted nose down with respect to a profile of the blade shell adjacent the fairing.
