The invention relates to a turbomachine blade comprising an aerodynamic surface made of a composite material and extending in a first direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and in a second direction between a root and a tip of the blade. The blade includes solid metal reinforcement that is adhesively bonded to the leading edge of its aerodynamic surface, which reinforcement extends along the first direction beyond the leading edge of the aerodynamic surface and along the second direction between the root and the tip, and includes at least one recess for absorbing at least a portion of the energy that results from an impact of a foreign body against the leading edge of the blade.
A turbomachine blade comprising an aerodynamic surface extending along a first direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction between a root and a tip of the blade, said aerodynamic surface being made of a composite material, the blade including solid metal reinforcement adhesively bonded to the leading edge of its aerodynamic surface, the reinforcement extending along the first direction beyond the leading edge of the aerodynamic surface of the blade and in the second direction between the root and the tip of the blade, and including at least one recess for absorbing at least a portion of the energy that results from the impact of a foreign body against the leading edge of the blade.
