Abstract

The present invention relates to wind turbine blade and a method of manufacturing the wind turbine blade. An aerodynamic shell is provided with a recess (70) at its inner surface, the recess (70) extending with-in the shell along a spanwise direction of the blade. A first region of the recess (70) has a first width and a second region of the recess (70) has a second width exceeding the first width.
