The advantages of a horizontal axis wind turbine include the following.

• It includes high output power as compared to the vertical wind turbine.
• A tall tower gets stronger winds once the wind shear alters.
• It is not expensive as compared to vertical type turbine.
• It has high reliability/high efficiency.
• It has a high rate of capacity.
• Its rotational speed is high.
• It is more consistent.
• These turbines are self-starting.
• In this turbine, the vanes are located one face of the turbine center of gravity, which improves stability.
• It can bend the blades so that the turbine blades have the best attack angle.
• The blade can also tilt the rotor during a storm to reduce damage
