The most appropriate research question for the team of engineers working on the wind turbine would be:

Which angle converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine?

This question focuses on how the angle of the turbine blades affects the efficiency of converting the wind's kinetic energy into usable energy (kinetic energy) for the turbine itself, which is a crucial aspect of wind turbine design and optimization.
