Zusammenfassung:A blade insert for coupling a first blade segment to a second blade segment is disclosed. The blade insert may include an aerodynamic body extending between a first end configured to be coupled to the first blade segment and a second end configured to be coupled to the second blade segment. The aerodynamic body 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.
