Protective cover for protecting a leading edge of a wind turbine blade

PROTECTIVE COVER FOR PROTECTING A LEADING EDGE OF A WIND TURBINE BLADE A protective cover (1) for a leading edge (14a) of a wind turbine rotor blade (10) is presented. The protective cover (1) is pre-formed into a curved shape so as to accommodate at 10 least a part of a leading edge section (14) including the leading edge (14a) of the wind turbine rotor blade (10) to be protected. The protective cover (1) includes a pressure side section (la), a suction side section (lb) and a centerline (1c) in-between the pressure side section (la) and the suc 15 tion side section (lb). The centerline (1c) runs in longitu dinal direction of the protective cover (1). Thickness of the protective cover (1) in a cross section of the protective cover (1) in transverse direction has a thickness distribu tion corresponding to a standardized normal distribution. A 20 wind turbine rotor blade (10) including the protective cover (1), a wind turbine (100) including the wind turbine rotor blade (10) having the protective cover (1), and a method of manufacturing the protective cover (1) are also presented.
