NEXT-LEVEL BLADE PERFORMANCE

Ultrablade® 2 leverages the power of WindStrand® 4000’s higher modulus at increased Fiber Volume Fractions to improve laminate modulus in the main fiber direction. Ultrablade® 2 allows more efficient design for lighter, longer blades that reduce the the cost of
wind energy.
