N2  - Egypt has a potential of wind energy exceeds 20,000 MW in the uninhabited desert of the  Gulf of Suez area. This research aims to design a wind turbine with rated wind speed matches  the average wind speed along the Gulf of Suez area. The design process started with airfoil  selection using XFOIL software, then programming a MATLAB code based on the blade- element momentum theory for the 3-D design of the blade and calculation of the net output  power. ANSYS Fluent was used for more accurate results. Finally the boundary layer suction  concept was implemented for improvement of the blade aerodynamic performance
