Wind Energy: Forces acting on an airfoil of a horizontal axis wind turbine blade

An airfoil on a wind turbine blade experiences critical aerodynamic forces and effects during rotation. These include lift, drag, thrust, gravity, torque, and centrifugal forces. In this video, I breifly explain these forces.
