The HAWT may have anywhere from three to seven blades, although typically, they are seen with two to three blades.
Known as Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT), they make up the majority of wind design known today.
The HAWT's have a mounted generator in a nacelle, a covered, protective housing.
The tower, which the HAWT stands on, is built to a height two to three times the length of the blades.
