Propeller blade for a turbine engine

The invention relates to a blade (34) helically extending radially between a blade root (38) and a blade head (36) and comprising a leading edge (40) and a trailing edge ( 42) and a side face and a suction face. According to the invention, along the leading edge (40), the angle (α) between the radial direction and a tangent to the leading edge goes through a local maximum zmax between 60 and 80% of the height of blade (34). In addition, the suction face of the blade (34) comprises a recess (54) extending axially from the leading edge (40) to the trailing edge and located on the blade height (34) between zmax the local maximum and the blade head (34).
