There is a growing tendency to harness wind power as this has been proven to be a viable renewable source of energy. Wind turbine blades are made from composites that use glass fibers. The composites provide high strength, light weight, and design flexibility.

The Fiberex 408 series and 503 series of single end roving are used to make the unidirectional and multi-axial fabrics that go into the manufacture of the composite blades. The reinforcements are amenable to the fabrication techniques used in manufacture of the blades- be it the most recent vacuum assisted resin infusion technique or the pre-impregnated reinforcement lay-up.
