Windmill Sail

Until yesterday I'd never given much thought to a Windmills sail construction. I'd always assumed they were just basically flat but at a slight angle to let the wind run off them.
I still don't know whether this makes for a stronger construction or improved aerodynamic efficiency.
Next time the Restoration people are there, I'll ask.

Likely for both reasons. This looks like a high-tech windmill. Thanks for sharing the engineering detail.
