Abstract
A turbomachine blade made of a fiber-reinforced composite material includes an aerodynamic portion and a fixing root portion, the latter being formed by at least two distinct arms which branch and spread without discontinuity from the aerodynamic portion and which are each formed into a loop which completely surrounds a separation core.
Claims3
A turbomachine blade made of fiber-reinforced composite material, said blade comprising:
- an aerodynamic portion and a root portion for fixing said blade on a rotary disc of the turbomachine, said root portion being formed by at least two distinct arms which branch and spread out without any discontinuity from said aerodynamic portion, and at least two separation cores, each of said arms being formed into a loop which completely surrounds a respective one of said separation cores wherein said root portion is formed by two of said arms and three of said separation cores, each of said two arms forming a loop which turns inwardly towards the other and is closed around a respective one of said cores, said two loops being in mutual contact and defining, together with the portions of said arms diverging from said aerodynamic portion of said blade, a cavity containing the third core.
