This document summarizes the challenges in designing and manufacturing wind turbine blades over time. It discusses: 1) How blade design has evolved from early 61.5m blades in 2004 to the current longest 73.5m and 88.4m blades, breaking records. 2) The validation methods used to test new blade concepts, including aerodynamic testing, fatigue testing, and other reliability tests. 3) Future challenges including designing even larger diameter blades with lower solidity and higher tip speeds within a narrow design space. Issues like erosion, high Reynolds numbers, and increased flexibility posing unknown aerodynamic implications. 4) The need for volume production to drive down costs through efficiency, quality, and
