Meet WindRunner: The Massive Plane That Transports Wind Turbine Blades
spectrum.ieee.org
The world's largest airplane will transport massive wind-turbine blades to onshore farms in an attempt to reshape the future of wind energy logistics.

"Having fewer total turbines means a wind farm could space them farther apart, avoiding airflow interference. The turbines would be nearly twice as tall, so they’ll reach a higher, gustier part of the atmosphere. And big turbines don’t need to spin as quickly, so they would make economic sense in places with average wind speeds around 5 meters per second… "

      They are already building wind turbines, this is just about bigger ones. Would have thought they are assembled by where ever you load the barge
