Abstract

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade, said method comprising the steps of: casting at least two wind turbine shells and preferably one or more load bearing structures, forming a wind turbine blade structure including at least two longitudinal joints by adhering said at least two wind tubine shells and said one or more load bearing structures together, forming one or more front covers to a shape substantially corresponding to said wind turbine blade structure or sections hereof, positioning said one or more front covers in relation to said wind turbine blade structure, and fastening said one or more front covers to said wind turbine blade structure with adhering means. The invention also relates to a wind turbine blade, front cover and the use of a front cover as a unit for supplementary mounting on a wind turbine blade.
