A wind turbine (10) includes a nacelle (14) with a longitudinal axis (LA) aligned with the flow of the incoming wind during operation. When so aligned, the nacelle defines a longitudinal direction (X). The wind turbine (10) includes one or more heat-generating components (22) and a modular cooler (24) operatively coupled to the one or more heat-generating components (22). The modular cooler (24) includes one or more cooling modules (30) with each including one or more cooling units (32). Each cooling unit (32) includes a heat exchanger (40) defining a cooling area (38), which defines a normal axis (NA) and a deflector plate (42) to divert the flow of the incoming wind by an angle less than 180? relative to the longitudinal direction (X). Each cooling unit (32) is oriented such that the normal axis (NA) is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis (LA). The modular cooler (24) is scalable in multiple dimensions to increase the cooling capacity of the cooler (24). A method of assembling the modular cooler (24) is also disclosed.

An unducted fan having variable pitch blades for an aircraft or wind propulsion system is described. The fan includes a hub provided with housings pivotally receiving vanes about radial axes, and an outer casing of the hub into which circular openings of the housings open. Each vane includes a root which is rotatably mounted in the associated housing, a radially oriented blade and a disc-shaped platform extending from the blade to an edge of the circular opening. The blade includes at least one skin which includes a free lower edge facing the side of the root, wherein the platform is attached to the free lower edge of the skin.
