All of those would also apply to turbine blade construction, except aircraft certification. You still want all the strength on the outside to get the most strength out of the material used.

You still want really good validation because these will not be inspected like aircraft are. I'm not sure if anyone will actually be getting close up with the full length of the blade surface post installation.
