An aero reduction control system (300, 350) includes at least one first wind turbine input device (176) configured to transmit a first operational signal (314, 372) representative of a first operational condition. The first operational condition includes a blade (112) deflection condition. The system also includes at least one second wind turbine input device (131, 146, 148) configured to transmit at least one second operational signal (314, 372) representative of at least one second operational condition. The system further includes at least one wind turbine regulating device (326). The system also includes at least one processor (150, 206, 208-A, 208-B, 208-N) operatively coupled with the first wind turbine input device, the second wind turbine input device, and the regulating device. The processor is programmed to transmit at least one signal (324, 362) to the wind turbine regulating device to change the second operational condition to change the blade deflection condition.
