German term or phrase: Blattfahne
Context:

"...muss über die Blattfahne gespannt werden ."

This is about a rotor blade, in connection with a weighing system for weighing rotor blades (cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/3608611 and http://www.proz.com/kudoz/3611386 ). I'm not sure how best to translate 'gespannt' here either (clamped?), but that may depend on what the Blattfahne is.

trailing edge
Explanation:
trailing edge makes sense from the context given and the discussion entries. "gespannt" in this context is probably meaning to secure or fix the blade in position by a tension belt over the trailing edge.
