Abstract
A wind turbine blade includes a profiled contour with a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, along with a blade shell with a pressure side and a suction side, a first main spar cap integrated in the pressure side of the blade shell, a second main spar cap integrated in the suction side of the blade shell, and one or more shear webs connected between the first main spar cap and the second main spar cap. The blade shell includes at least a first load carrying structure arranged at the leading edge or the trailing edge and having a first extension, including a first primary extension on a first side of the chord, where the first primary extension is at least 60% of the first extension.
