Multilayer weaving is used to form a fiber blank having a longitudinal direction corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the vane to be made and comprising across its thickness a first woven portion with a plurality of layers of yarns interlinked by weaving, and also a second and third woven portions. The first portion is situated between the second and third portions and interlinked thereto by weaving over only a fraction of its longitudinal dimension. A preform for the vane is formed by folding out, on either side of the first portion, segments of the second and third portions not interlinked with the first portion, by shaping the first portion to form a preform portion for the airfoil of the vane, and by shaping the folded-out segments of the second and third portions to form preform portions for the inner and outer platforms of the vane to be fabricated. |
