At present, the most commonly used wind turbine is HAWT or Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine. These turbines use airfoils (aerodynamic blades) which are connected to a rotor by positioning in upwind or downwind.

Smart technology, based on morphing blades, is one of the promising tools that could make this possible.

The tips of a modern wind turbine's blades can reach speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h), although the actual rotational speed, measured in RPM (revolutions per minute), varies significantly depending on the turbine's design, size, and wind conditions.
