It really doesn't seem like it could pencil out, as it carries only one blade at a time, that's three trips for each turbine - and most windfarms would have more than one. But I guess they think it does. Perhaps they can also deliver to offshore farms, which already have contracts. I know there is a shortage of the specialized ships to float their huge blades out.

Also, I hope they've done their homework on NIMBY pushback on land which is pretty effective against wind farms even with regular sized turbines.

Looks like they load 2 blades at a time. Check out the image on their site. https://radia.com/windrunner

The image 3/4 down the page directly under "Specifications" with the transparency slider shows the rear of the plane only fitting the narrow tip end.

It can fit multiple smaller blades but only 1 very large blade.

Also, wind farms with giant blades tend not to be built close to airports, for some obscure reason.

Depends on your definition of "close". There is a wind farm pretty close to the Berlin airport, but certainly some miles away.

[gnicholas]

Obviously because they put airports where there isn't wind.

Well, the photos show at least two blades in there, top to tail.
