Abstract

The invention provides a blade (40) for a wind generator (10) which includes a connection member (60) which is connectable to a generator (26), an elongate, flexible blade body (62) which has a first elongate aerofoil section (70) which has a first cord length and a blade end section (68) which extends from the body and which has a second aerofoil section (88) which has a second cord length which has a maximum length which is longer than the first cord length at the junction of the body and the end section.
