A blade ( 1 ) having a fitting ( 2 ) for fastening to a hub and an aerodynamic element ( 10 ) having a main spar ( 20 ) surrounding a bushing ( 31 ) for transmitting centrifugal forces and connected to said fitting ( 2 ). The blade includes a transmission member ( 40 ) for transmitting torsional forces and co-operating with a torsion box. The fitting ( 2 ) includes an annular recess ( 200 ) defining a first recess ( 201 ) and a second recess ( 202 ) that are separated by a top separator ( 211 ) and a bottom separator ( 212 ) locally obstructing the annular recess ( 200 ), the blade ( 1 ) including a first ring ( 71 ) and a second ring ( 72 ) reversibly arranged respectively in the first recess ( 201 ) and in the second recess ( 202 ), each ring ( 71, 72 ) being fastened to the top separator ( 211 ) and to the bottom separator ( 212 ), a ring ( 71 ) including a fastener pin ( 73 ) passing through said bushing ( 31 ) and said fitting ( 2 ) in co-operation with the other ring ( 72 ).
1. A blade having a fitting for fastening to a hub and an aerodynamic element having a main spar extending span-wise from an attachment zone towards a distal zone, said attachment zone surrounding a bushing for transmitting centrifugal forces and connected to said fitting, said blade including a transmission member for transmitting torsional forces and provided with a first half-shell and a second half-shell together clamping on said attachment zone, each half-shell having a first portion co-operating with said bushing and a second portion co-operating with a torsion box surrounding said distal zone, said first portion being inserted in said fitting, wherein said fitting includes an annular recess defining a first recess and a second recess that are separated by a top separator and a bottom separator locally obstructing the annular recess, and the blade includes a first ring and a second ring reversibly arranged respectively in the first recess and in the second recess, each ring being fastened to the top separator and to the bottom separator, a ring including a fastener pin passing through said bushing and said fitting in co-operation with the other ring.
2. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein said first ring has a first fastener pin, said second ring being provided with a second fastener pin suitable for penetrating in said first fastener pin.
3. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein said first ring includes a first fastener pin, said second ring being provided with a hole suitable for receiving said first fastener pin.
4. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein said blade includes a front secondary spar and a rear secondary spar, and each ring includes fastener means for fastening to a secondary spar.
5. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein each ring extends from a first end towards a second end, and the blade possesses a first securing pin for securing the first end of the first ring to the first end of the second ring and to the top separator, the blade also possessing a second securing pin securing the second end of the first ring to the second end of the second ring and to the bottom separator.
6. A blade according to claim 5 , wherein each end has a plane surface (SP), with each separator being clamped between two plane surfaces (SP).
7. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein said fitting has at least one guide groove co-operating with a lug of a shell, and at least one ring includes a projection suitable for closing said guide groove in order to seal it.
8. A blade according to claim 7 , wherein each guide groove opens out into a circularly arcuate slideway contained in a first plane (P 1 ) parallel to a second plane (P 2 ) containing the first and second recesses.
9. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein each half-shell includes an eyelet suitable for clamping onto a first end portion of said bushing, each half-shell having an oblong viewing hole.
10. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein each half-shell includes an eyelet suitable for clamping onto an end portion of said bushing, and a zone matching the shape of the eyelet of the other half-shell.
11. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein at least a first portion of the half-shells include a first flat, and at least one ring includes a second flat complementary to the first flat.
12. A blade according to claim 8 , wherein each slideway includes an axial housing facing a lug when the transmission member is locked to the fitting so as to prevent a lug from moving in an axial housing in the event of the transmission member moving accidentally in translation relative to the fitting.
