Disclosed is a movable vane () for a wheel () of an aircraft turbine engine, the vane () comprising a blade () delimited by an outer heel () comprising a first seal (), the vane () comprising an internal circuit () suitable for receiving a first minor gas flow (f), this circuit () comprising a supply cavity () opening at the root () via at least one inlet opening (), characterised in that the circuit () comprises at least two channels () connected with the supply cavity () and each opening on an outer surface of the first seal () via a discharge opening such that a gas jet (J) of the first minor gas flow (f) is capable of being discharged from each discharge opening, each channel () being oriented such that the corresponding gas jet (J) is capable of being projected towards a second minor gas flow (f) escaping between the heel () and a directly adjacent member ().

A labyrinth seal lip () comprises, standing on one of its lateral faces (), a deflector () which channels the flow of gas tangent to the lip () towards the facing seal () so as to disturb the leakage flow () through the gap and decrease the flow rate.
