Summary: | A wind turbine (1) comprising a tower (2), a nacelle (3) and a hub (7) is disclosed. The hub (7) comprises a blade carrying structure (4) with one or more wind turbine blades (5) connected to thereto.Each of the wind turbine blades (5) defines an aerodynamic profile having a thickness which varies along a length of the wind turbine blade (5). Each of the wind turbine blades (5) is connected to the blade carrying structure (4) via a hinge (6) at a hinge position of the wind turbine blade (5), each wind turbine blade (5) thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (4) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The hinge position is arranged at a distance from the inner tip end (5a) and at a distance from the outer tip end (5b), and the thickness, or the thickness-to chord ratio, at the hinge position is larger than the thickness, or the thickness-to-chord ratio, at the inner tip end (5a) and larger than the thickness, or the thickness-to-chord ratio, |
