Short summary

Fluid–structure interaction analysis of a membrane blade concept has been performed for a non-rotating blade under steady inflow conditions. The membrane blade consists of a rigid mast at the leading edge, ribs along the blade, tensioned edge cables at the trailing edge, and membranes forming the upper and lower surface of the blade. The studied membrane blade shows a higher lift curve slope and higher lift-to-drag ratio compared with its rigid-blade counterpart.
