Abstract
There is provided a method of fabricating a blade platform out of composite material with integrated gaskets for a turbine engine fan, the platform including a base and a stiffener, the method including using three-dimensional weaving to make a single-piece fiber blank with a plurality of longitudinal yarn layers extending in a direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction of the base of the platform; shaping the fiber blank to form a fiber preform having a first portion forming a base preform and a second portion forming a stiffener preform; positioning platform gaskets at side margins of the first portion of the fiber preform forming a base preform; placing the fiber preform with the gaskets in an injection mold; injecting resin into the injection mold; compacting the assembly; heating the injection mold to solidify the resin; and unmolding the resulting platform.
