Claim 0:
1. A profile for a trailing edge of an airfoil, the trailing edge includes two flanges, the profile is U or V shaped in cross-section and is made of composite material, the profile comprises:
two sections joined at a first profile end and defining an inner space, and
a plurality of recesses arranged along the two sections arranged towards the inner space and the recesses are arranged complementary to each other between the two sections;
wherein the profile is configured to follow an aerodynamic contour of the airfoil so that, when the profile is mounted on the trailing edge, the two sections partially cover the trailing edge of the airfoil and the two flanges of the airfoil are housed in the inner space,
wherein each of the plurality of recesses defines at least two joining points through which the two flanges of the trailing edge and the two sections are configured to be joined;
wherein each of the two sections includes a support section configured to rest on the trailing edge; each of the support sections includes at least one projection projecting towards the inner space and the at least one projection is configured to abut the trailing edge and the at least one projection has in cross section a triangular shape or a semi-circular shape.
