Abstract:
The invention relates to an anti-icing turbomachine blade (26), in particular for a low-pressure compressor or an intermediate-pressure compressor of a turbomachine. The blade (26) has a leading edge (28) formed by an ice-phobic surface (40) and two hydrophobic surfaces (42; 44) which extend the ice-phobic surface (40) on the pressure side (32) and the suction side (34) to allow water droplets escaping from the leading edge (28) to flow.
