Zytech Aerodyne LAKOTA's aerospace grade unidirectional carbon fiber blades are not to be confused with carbon matrix or carbon reinforced plastic blades. Unlike plastic with powdered carbon blades that bend and flutter, the carbon fibers in the LAKOTA blades are 7 times stiffer than common steel, and carry the loads from tip to root.

This allows the Lakota to harness far more energy annually than comparable similar wind turbine generators. In addition, the increased output substantially lowers the overall cost of energy despite a slightly higher initial purchase price.
