As wind power becomes a growing source for U. power grids, wind turbine blade transportation challenges have come to the forefront. Lockheed Martin has proposed a futuristic-sounding solution: a Hybrid Airship that can fly 40,000 pounds of cargo directly to the site. New lower cost solutions are needed to enable further reductions in the levelized cost of energy. . bility of large, jointed, flexible blades is not well known. However, with wind turbine transportation, the best route is adjusted for limitat s and barriers, including both physical and antly since the 1980s. . Although all wind turbine components require transportation, the blades provide the most formidable challenges because of their ever-increasing lengths. These components include: Blades: Can reach up to 350 feet in length, requiring extendable trailers.
