The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On::It’s turbo time.

    Article is inaccurate:

    The behemoth is 152 meters (500 feet) tall, and each single blade is 123 meters (403 feet)

    This is impossible, the total height cannot be lower than twice the length of the blades.

    I found a better article: https://electrek.co/2023/07/19/16-mw-offshore-wind-turbine/

    has a rotor of 260 meters (853 feet)

    So it must be more than 260 meters high. Maybe 152 meters is the height of the tower? Generally the height of a turbine is measured as the high point of the wing tips. Which is what for instance air traffic must observe.
