just a bit over 60 meters (4.00 / 2)

In the paper version of the report I linked to, they helpfully provide a transparent page with the outline of two soccer fields to superpose with the picture of the full rotor - the rotor does cover both fields.

Re: just a bit over 60 meters (4.00 / 2)

so a blade would be 1 soccer field?

in width, yes (none / 1)

and the other two blades, at their angle, reach out the two opposite corners of the "other field", if you can imagine them side by side along the long side and the rotor in the exact middle of the two.
