A free end of a blade of a fluid flow machine has a skeleton line camber distribution having an excessive value to a relative skeleton line camber of at least α*=0.35 for a related running length of s*=0.1 in a blade profile flow line section between the free end and a blade section at 30% of a main flow path width from the free end. S* is a local running length relative to a total running length of the profile skeleton line and α* is an angular change of the skeleton line relative to a total camber of the skeleton line from a leading edge to a related running length s*. The skeleton line camber distribution runs between leading edge point V (s*=0, α*=0) and trailing edge point H (s*=1, α*=1).
