The B75 Quantum blade, which outreaches LM Wind ­Power’s 73.5P model by 1.5 ­metres, is designed with what Siemens describes as a unique aerofoil that promises “tremendous strength at a low weight”. A set of the blades will be ­installed on the second Siemens SWT-6.0 prototype, to be erected at the Østerild test station in Denmark.

The B75 lays claim to being the largest glass-fibre component cast in one piece.
