Wind Turbine Blade Design Guide

This document contains a spreadsheet for calculating blade design parameters for a wind turbine. It includes calculations for blade diameter, chord length, angle of attack, and wood width across 6 stations along the blade. Dimensional values are provided for a blade with a tip speed ratio of 7, 2 blades, 4 degree angle of attack, and 0.8 lift coefficient.
