Leading edge protection with reduced noise impact

18-35. (canceled)

A wind turbine (2) comprising a number of the wind turbine blade (10), preferably three wind turbine blades (10).

A wind turbine blade (10), which comprises a tip region as well as 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 (48) 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 such that the first edge (62) at all positions along the first part (64) is located no more than 15 cm upstream of the natural transition line (48) of the wind turbine blade.
