Abstract

The invention relates to a composite blade (5) for a turbine engine rotor, for example, an unducted propeller, comprising a skin (6) made of woven fibres forming the outer profile of the blade and an attachment (11) with cylindrical geometry in the direction of the span emerging from the blade root (9), which attachment is intended to retain the blade (5) on a hub of the rotor, characterised in that it further comprises a spar (16) having a hollow tube structure made of braided carbon fibres, fixed to the attachment (11) and extending inside the skin (6) over at least part of the span of the blade (5). The invention also relates to a propeller comprising said blade and to a method for manufacturing said blade.
