A propeller blade or airfoil of a turboprop of composite material includes a fibrous reinforcement densified by a matrix, the propeller blade or airfoil including, in a span direction, a root and an aerodynamic profile. The fibrous reinforcement includes a fibrous preform having a three-dimensional weave with a root preform portion present in the root and an aerodynamic preform portion present in the aerodynamic profile, the root and aerodynamic preform portions being linked to one another by the three-dimensional weave. The root preform portion of the fibrous preform includes an unlinked area delimiting an internal root recess forming a cavity opening at a free end of the root.

Propeller blade or airfoil with hollow composite root

A propeller blade or airfoil for a turboprop engine made from composite material including a matrix-densified fibrous reinforcement, the propeller blade or airfoil including, in the direction of its span, a root and an aerodynamic profile. The fibrous reinforcement includes a fibrous preform having three-dimensional weaving with a root preform portion and an aerodynamic profile preform portion. The fibrous preform includes a separation delimiting a recess that forms a cavity extending both into the root and into the aerodynamic profile. A spar is present in the cavity, the spar including an aerodynamic profile shaping portion positioned in a first portion of the cavity and a root shaping portion positioned in a second portion of the cavity. The root has a rotationally symmetric shape.

Propeller blade or vane having a hollow composite root

A turboprop engine blade or propeller airfoil made of composite material includes a fiber reinforcement densified by a matrix, the blade or propeller airfoil including along a longitudinal direction a root and an aerodynamic profile. The fiber reinforcement includes a fiber preform having a three-dimensional weave with a root preform part located in the root and an aerodynamic profile part located in the aerodynamic profile, the root preform and aerodynamic profile parts being connected to one another by three-dimensional weaving. The root preform part includes two woven skins wound around an insertion element.

Method for manufacturing a composite platform for a fan of an aircraft turbine engine

A composite platform for a fan of an aircraft turbine engine. The platform includes an elongate wall and is configured to extend between two fan blades. The wall includes an aerodynamic outer surface and an inner surface, on which a fastening tab is located, wherein the fastening tab is configured to be attached to a fan disc. The fastening tab is integrally formed with a metal reinforcement which has a plate having an elongate shape and which extends over more than 50% of the longitudinal extent of the wall, the wall being produced by overmolding a resin on the plate so as to be integrated into the wall.

Composite platform for a fan of an aircraft turbine engine

A composite platform for an aircraft turbine engine fan includes a wall of elongate shape that is configured to extend between two fan blades. The wall has an aerodynamic external face and an internal face on which is disposed a fixing tab configured to be fixed to a fan disc. A method for manufacturing the composite platform includes the steps of: a) producing a preform by three-dimensionally weaving of fibers, b) unbinding some of the fibers of the preform to detach at least one longitudinal layer of fibers from the rest of the preform, c) inserting a metal reinforcement between this layer and the rest of the preform, and d) injecting a resin into the preform so as to form said wall and secure the reinforcement to this wall.
