A main rotor blade 1, which is the main rotor blade 1 for a high-velocity helicopter, includes: a blade root part 10 having a length of 30% or more of a rotor radius R; and a blade main body 20 continuous with the blade root part 10. Preferably, a cross-sectional shape of the blade root part 10 satisfies (x/a)m+(y/b)m=1 and a>b, where m: arbitrary number, x: chord length direction, and y: blade thickness direction.
