This document discusses the aerodynamics of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). It begins by explaining the importance of wind energy as a renewable source that produces no CO2 emissions and creates jobs. It then defines wind turbines as devices that convert kinetic wind energy into electrical power. The rest of the document focuses on HAWTs, explaining their common horizontal axis design and how lift and drag forces act on the airfoil-shaped blades to extract energy from the wind. Diagrams are provided to illustrate factors like angle of attack, twist, and taper that influence the aerodynamic performance of HAWT blades.
