Larger wind turbines produce more power than standard ones, but the components are too big to be transported by road. Mark Lundstrom is working on a solution, as the founder and CEO of Radia, a company building the world’s biggest aeroplane. Known as WindRunner, it will revolutionize the transportation of gigantic wind turbine blades to onshore locations. This move is to facilitate GigaWind, a new generation of massive onshore wind turbines that could significantly increase grid capacity, lower energy prices and avoid vast amounts of carbon emissions.
About GigaWind
GigaWind is Radia’s name for gigantic onshore wind turbines, which are significantly more powerful than traditional turbines especially due to their larger rotor blades, which allow them to capture far more wind energy, along with being able to operate at greater heights and in lower wind speeds.
Radia says that with a....
