This article studies the aerodynamic characteristics of a triangular sail blade of various parameters. For this purpose, we made a triangular sail blade with a dynamically changing surface shape. The airflow velocity varied from 3 to 12 m/s. The dependences of the aerodynamic forces of the sail blade on the flow velocity were investigated at various angles of the apex of the triangular blade. The experiments were carried out at different vertices of the angles: 00 ; 300 ; 600 ; 900 . As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that at the vertex angle γ = 900 , the triangular sail blade has optimal aerodynamic parameters. The dependences of the aerodynamic coefficients on the dimensionless angle of attack are obtained. It is found that the optimal number of triangular blades for a wind power plant with sailing blades is 6. It is established that at the angle of attack α = 00 , the maximum value of the middle section of the wind wheel to the streamlined airflow will introduce a decrease in the value of the drag coefficient with an increase in attack α. The analysis of the experiment results on the change in α from the speed of the airflow of the sail blade is carried out. When the blade position changes, drag changes relatively to the airflow. The wind wheel will change its position relative to the stream with an increase in the attack angle. With an angular position change, the area of the middle section of the wind wheel begins to decrease relative to the incoming flow. With a decrease in the middle section of the wind wheel, the drag force decreases, and the drag coefficient decreases accordingly. Thus, the total result of pressure changes on the leeward and windward surfaces of the sail can be represented as one resultant aerodynamic force directed at an angle to the line perpendicular to the wind direction.
