Zusammenfassung:	A blade insert (106) for coupling a first blade (20) segment to a second blade (22) segment is disclosed. The blade insert (106) may include an aerodynamic body (126) extending between a first end configured to be coupled to the first blade segment (20) and a second end configured to be coupled to the second blade segment (22). The aerodynamic body (126) may include a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. In addition, the aerodynamic body may define a chord, wherein the chord at the first end is substantially equal to the chord at the second end.
