The nine-metre long blade was fabricated at IACMI’s Wind Technology Area in Denver and it is believed that commercialisation of the prototype created could speed production times, reduce manufacture cost, and provide stronger, more energy-efficient blades for the USA.   

A large team of eleven industrial partners, including Arkema, Johns Manville, TPI Composites, Huntsman Polyurethanes, Strongwell, DowAksa USA, Chomarat North America, Composites One, SikaAxson, Creative Foam and Chem-Trend, provided materials and on site fabrication support for blade component manufacturing and assembly.
