Abstract
The invention relates to a propeller blade (34) extending radially between a blade root (38) and a blade tip (36) and having a leading edge (40) and a trailing edge (42), together with a pressure side face and a suction side face. According to the invention, along the leading edge (40), the angle (α) between the radial direction and a tangent to the leading edge passes through a local maximum zmax situated in the range 60% to 80% of the height of the blade (34). Furthermore, the suction side face of the blade (34) includes an indentation (54) extending axially from the leading edge (40) to the trailing edge and located at a height of the blade (34) between the local maximum zmax and the blade tip (34).
Claims8
A blade for mounting on a propeller, the blade extending radially in a height direction from a blade root to a blade tip and having a leading edge and a trailing edge, together with a pressure side face and a suction side face, wherein, along the leading edge, the angle (α) between the radial direction of the blade corresponding to the radial direction of the propeller on which the blade is to be mounted and a tangent to the leading edge passes through a local maximum zmax situated in the range 60% to 80% of the height of the blade, and in that the suction side face of the blade includes an indentation of concave surface extending axially from the leading edge to the trailing edge and located at a height of the blade between the local maximum zmax and the blade tip, so as to form a reversal of curvature of the blade in the radial direction.
