  • Patent number: 11939937
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite platform (30) for a fan of an aircraft turbine engine, wherein said platform comprises an elongate wall (32) and is configured to extend between two fan blades (3), said wall comprising an outer aerodynamic surface (32a) and an inner surface (32b), on which a fastening tab is located (34), said fastening tab being configured to be fixed to a fan disc (2). The invention is characterized in that it comprises the steps of: a) preparing fabrics or sheets which are pre-impregnated with a resin, b) depositing the fabrics or sheets in a mold, c) positioning a metal reinforcement (36) in the mold on the fabrics or sheets, the reinforcement being integrally formed with said fastening tab, d) depositing the fabrics or sheets on a part of the reinforcement, and e) closing and heating the mold for solidification of the assembly formed by the fabrics or sheets and the reinforcement.

  • Patent number: 11891913
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240026792
    Abstract: Blower vane for an aircraft turbine engine, the vane comprising a blade connected to a root, the vane being made of a woven fibre-based composite material embedded in a polymeric resin, the vane further comprising a medium for identifying the vane, which is a radio-identification medium, the blower vane being characterised in that it comprises at least a first portion the fibres of which are only electrically conductive fibres, and at least a second portion the fibres of which are formed by a mixture of electrically conductive fibres and non-electrically conductive fibres, and in that the identification medium is located in or on the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20240003260
    Abstract: A part made of composite material, in particular for an aircraft turbine engine, includes a body produced from fibers woven in three dimensions and immersed in a resin, in particular an organic or polymer resin. The part has at least one crack sensor capable of detecting a crack in the part, at least one link element connected to the sensor and configured to transmit a signal (S), in particular to a member outside of the part, when a crack in the part is detected. The crack sensor has at least one conductive wire woven with the fibers of the body, and the link element is configured to measure the resistance of the conductive wire and to wirelessly transmit the signal.

  • Patent number: 11828184
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230166460
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a component made from composite material, in particular of a turbomachine, includes the steps of producing a preform with a fibrous reinforcement comprising a first fibrous portion and a second fibrous portion, and injecting a pressurized matrix into an injection chamber of an injection mold, in which the preform is arranged. The method further includes the steps of polymerizing the preform and positioning a flexible pocket that encloses a fluid and that is arranged between the first fibrous portion and the second fibrous portion before the injection step. The fluid is configured to apply an additional pressure to the preform of the fluid during the polymerization step.
