Abstract: A method for correcting the radial moment weight of a vane includes the step of providing a vane extending along an axis of elongation (Z) between a free end and an opposite root, the vane having a blade made of composite material and having a leading edge. The method further includes the steps of measuring the radial moment weight of the vane and comparing the measured radial moment weight to a reference value and adjusting the radial moment weight of the vane according to the result of the comparison. The vane has at least one adjustment cavity extending along the leading edge and opening into the free end of the vane. The adjustment is carried out by inserting a first material into the adjustment cavity.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a blade made of a composite material for a turbine engine, in particular a turbine engine of an aircraft, wherein a reinforcing shield is attached to one edge of an airfoil, the shield having a generally elongated shape along an elongation axis of the airfoil. The shield includes at least one excess dimension so as to be able to adjust the moment weight of the blade along the axis according to the position of the shield on the edge of the axis, and the method includes a step for removing a surplus portion of the shield so s to balance the blade.
