The present invention discloses a rotor blade component for a wind turbine and a method of manufacture thereof. More specifically, the rotor blade component includes a plurality of pultruded rods housed within an enclosed main casing. The closed main housing includes a hollow interior, a root end, and an opposing tip. Accordingly, each of the plurality of pultruded rods is received within the closed main housing and secured therein via a first resinous material. Additionally, the arrangement of the plurality of pultruded rods within the main casing and the relationship of the maximum dimension of each of the plurality of pultruded rods to the maximum dimension of the enclosed main casing are configured to maximize the flexibility of the rotor blade components change. |
