The Gamma 60 wind turbine was a 1.5 MW two-bladed upwind horizontal axis wind turbine that was installed by Wind Energy Systems Taranto S.p.A. (WEST) at Alta Nurra, Sardinia, Italy in April 1992. Founded on original research and development work by NASA and Hamilton Standard (then a division of United Technologies Corporation), the Gamma 60 wind turbine was the world's first variable speed wind turbine with a teeter hinge.
