    摘要: An aerodynamic profile including a skin defining the outer surface of the aerodynamic profile, a leading edge, a trailing edge and a central portion representing at least 50% of the chord of the profile. The profile includes a hollow core of composite material reinforced with a textile having unidirectional fibers. The hollow core has, in cross section, an oblong shape that is rounded, in particular at each of its ends. The skin bears against the hollow core over the length of the central portion of the aerodynamic profile, both on the pressure side and on the suction side of the profile. The reinforcement with a textile having unidirectional fibers permits an ideal orientation of reinforcing fibers in order to optimize mechanical properties in certain directions. The shape of the hollow core, elongate along the chord of the profile and rounded, lends it great resistance to deformation.
