Classification: CPC F  Y | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A wind turbine blade extending along a longitudinal axis from a root end through a first airfoil region and a second airfoil region to a tip end, the wind turbine blade comprising:
a first blade section extending along the longitudinal axis to a first end;
a second blade section extending along the longitudinal axis from a second end towards the tip end, the first blade section comprising the first airfoil region, and the second blade section comprising the second airfoil region, the first blade section and the second blade section comprising a pressure side and a suction side, wherein the first end of the first blade section is closer to the root end than the second end of the second blade section, and wherein the second end of the second blade section is closer to the tip end than the first end of the first blade section;
a spar beam configured for structurally connecting the first blade section and the second blade section, the spar beam longitudinally extending along a spar beam axis from a first beam position to a second beam position and being configured to be positioned such that the first beam position is located in the first airfoil region and the second beam position is located in the second airfoil region, wherein the first blade section comprises a first down conductor and the second blade section comprises a second down conductor; and
a conductive connector element for electrically connecting the first down conductor and the second down conductor, wherein the first down conductor is configured to extend to a first down conductor position located in the second blade section or the second down conductor is configured to extend to a second down conductor position located in the first blade section, and wherein the first down conductor and the second down conductor are positioned within the wind turbine blade and are continuously spaced apart from a pressure side shell part and a suction side shell part of each of the first and second blade sections.
