Abstract

In order to simplify the design of an aircraft turbo engine propeller while enhancing the safety function thereof related to control of the blade angle of attack, a propeller is provided comprising a secondary rotational coupling to couple in rotation, along the radial axis of the blade, the inner radial end of the blade root with a mechanical joining member of a blade angle of attack control device, the secondary coupling being designed and configured to be active in the event of failure of the main pin.
