Abstract

A novel blade configuration does not exceed the permitted stresses for particular loads, especially as a result of centrifugal forces and which at the same time, allows the turbomachine to function with a high degree of efficiency. To this end, a moving blade for the turbomachine contains at least partially a cellular material, especially a foamed metal. The cellular material can be provided e.g. in the hollowed-out part of the moving blade.
