  • Composite turbomachine blade with metal reinforcement
    Patent number: 8137073
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine blade comprising an aerodynamic surface made of a composite material and extending in a first direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and in a second direction between a root and a tip of the blade. The blade includes solid metal reinforcement that is adhesively bonded to the leading edge of its aerodynamic surface, which reinforcement extends along the first direction beyond the leading edge of the aerodynamic surface and along the second direction between the root and the tip, and includes at least one recess for absorbing at least a portion of the energy that results from an impact of a foreign body against the leading edge of the blade.
    Type: Grant
