A2WIND, received the certification report according

GL-2010 from Mr. Kröning, Managing Director at DEWI-OCC.

This is the first rotor blade certification by DEWI-OCC for

A2Wind.

Mr. Kurz expressed great appreciation for the service performed by the

DEWI-OCC experts.

Mr. Kröning confirms that "....A2WIND gave us good documentation, that made the

evaluation possible in very short time....".

The completed certification forms an excellent foundation for further cooperation.

Conclusion

� STRENGTH

� R&D oriented

� Unique expertise in Composites

� Technology transfer from Aerospace

� Manpower Capacity

� Experienced in manufacturing support

� SIZE MATTERS� Rotor blades & turbines of the future

necessitate the re-evaluation and re-

conception of the systems.

� Designing in the range of 5-10 MW pushes

technology to the limit. “Scaling” existing

solutions to future size will be neither cost

efficient nor safe. Current skills will be

insufficient.

� Leaded by Wind Industry design specialists

A2 Wind is and thinks different. We transfer

know-how from Space, Defense, Aviation for

your next generation of rotor blades and

converters.
