Abstract:
A blade (1) provided with a fitting (2) for fastening to a hub and with an airfoil element (10) having a spar (20) extending spanwise from an attachment zone (21) towards a distal zone (22), said attachment zone (21) surrounding a centrifugal force transmission bushing (31) that is connected to said fitting (2) by a through pin (3). The blade comprises a twisting force transmission member (40) provided with a first half-shell (41) and with a second half-shell (42) that together surround said attachment zone (21), each half-shell (41, 42) having a perforated first portion (43′, 43″) giving visual access to said bushing (31) when said airfoil element is removed from the fitting, and a second portion (44′, 44″) co-operating with a torsion box (50) surrounding said distal zone (22), said transmission member (40) being secured to said fitting in rotation about a torsion axis (AX) of the blade (1).
