The blade structure of a wind turbine which has enough strength for sporadic large load and increased durability. The blade can be formed into a thinner blade profile, with which blade performance is improved, increased efficiency of the wind turbine is attainable, and the noise induced by Karman vortex street is reduced. The blade is made of metal and formed into a one-piece blade or a split-type blade consisting of a main blade body made of metal and a rear end member made of metal other than that of the main blade body, the rear end member being fixed to the rear end of the main blade body, dentation being formed in the trailing edge part of the blade along the length thereof, the dentation being shaped in a serration of triangular teeth, of trapezoidal teeth, or of sawteeth, the ratio(h/δ) of the tooth height h to the thickness δ of the boundary layer developed on the surface of the blade is: h/δ=1.0˜10.0, and the ratio (h/p) of the tooth height h to the pitch p is: h/p=0.5˜5.0.

1. A wind turbine provided with a nacelle mounted on the top end of a support for horizontal revolution, and a rotor having a plurality of blades in front of the nacelle being supported for rotation by the nacelle, rotating force resulting from the lift effected through the pressure difference arising from the difference between the velocities of air stream on the lower chord surface and upper chord surface of the blades,wherein each of said blades is a one-piece blade made of one kind of metal or the rear end part of the blade is made of another metal, and the trailing edge part of the blade is formed to have dentation along the length of the blade, andwherein when said blade is formed of one kind of metal into one-piece, the one-piece blade is made of light metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, titanium, and aluminum alloy including titanium. 2. A wind turbine provided with a nacelle mounted on the top end of a support for horizontal revolution, and a rotor having a plurality of blades in front of the nacelle being supported for rotation by the nacelle, rotating force resulting from the lift effected through the pressure difference arising from the difference between the velocities of air stream on the lower chord surface and upper chord surface of the blades,wherein each of said blades is a one-piece blade made of one kind of metal or the rear end part of the blade is made of another metal, and the trailing edge part of the blade is formed to have dentation along the length of the blade, andwherein a main blade body of said blade excluding the rear end part of the blade is made of one kind of light metal, and the rear end part is made of another metal having a greater strength than the metal of said main blade body. 3. The wind turbine provided with a nacelle according to claim 2, wherein said main blade body is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, and said rear end part is made of titanium or steel. 4. The wind turbine provided with a nacelle according to claim 2, wherein said main blade body is formed into a hollow one, said rear end part is formed into a solid one, and both said main blade body and said rear end part are connected by means of rivets or by welding. 5. The wind turbine provided with a nacelle according to claim 1, wherein said dentation of the trailing edge part along the length of the blade is shaped in a serration of triangular teeth, of trapezoidal teeth, or of sawteeth, and the ratio of the tooth height h to the thickness δ of the boundary layer developed on the surface of the blade is: h/δ= 1.0˜10.0. 6. The wind turbine provided with a nacelle according to claim 5, wherein the tooth height h decreases toward the outer end of the blade along the length thereof so that said ratio h/δ of the tooth height h to the thickness δ of the boundary layer developed on the surface of the blade is constant along the length of the blade. 7. The wind turbine provided with a nacelle according to claim 5, wherein the tooth height h is constant along the length of the blade and the chord length L of the blade is decreased toward the outer end of the blade along the length thereof so that said ratio h/δ of the tooth height h to the thickness δ of the boundary layer developed on the surface of the blade increases toward the outer end of the blade along the length of the blade. 8.
