Re: Loss of Blade Accidents Revisited



Maybe we should demand, for safety reasons, that large windmills have each of their blades equipped with an electronic automatic pilot and small flight control thrusters - perhaps fuelled with hydrogen peroxide monopropellant - so that each of them can independently make a safe landing in a designated area, in case of a LOBA.

Hey -- how's that for an idea for starting a new business venture ? ....or better yet, for getting government money to fund safety research ?
