ABSTRACT:
A blade for an antitorque tail rotor of a helicopter, having a leading edge and a trailing edge opposite each other and elongated along a longitudinal axis of the blade; the trailing edge, in use, interacts with the air current after the leading edge; the blade also has two opposite surfaces extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a root portion extending from a radially inner first end, with respect to a rotation axis of the blade, towards a second end opposite the first end; and the root portion, when sectioned in a plane perpendicular to the leading edge and trailing edge, has a profile asymmetrical with respect to a chord joining the leading edge and trailing edge.
