Abstract
A blade of a turbomachine or a flying machine includes a blade airfoil extending in a radial direction from a blade root to a blade tip. The blade airfoil has an inflow-side leading edge, an outflow-side trailing edge, a pressure side and a suction side. A surface of each of the pressure side and the suction side extends between the inflow-side leading edge and the outflow-side trailing edge. The blade tip has an end face with a camber line that extends from the inflow-side leading edge to the outflow-side trailing edge. At least one tip-side recess forms a depression from the end face into the blade airfoil, the depression extending continuously from the pressure side to the suction side and having a partial length of the camber line.
