Abstract

The invention is directed to a partitioned rotor blade for a wind turbine, which, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the rotor blade, is formed by a first rotor blade segment and a second rotor blade segment. The first rotor blade segment has at a first connection end, a first connecting region along the longitudinal axis, and the second rotor blade segment has at a second connection end, which is associated with the first connection end, a second connecting region along the longitudinal axis. The two connecting regions are connected at a partition interface of the rotor blade and form a common segmentation region. In the segmentation region, a common outer contour of the rotor blade is formed by the connection of both rotor blade segments. The outer contour is singly curved.
