The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing an axi-symmetrical three-dimensional structure formed by superposed layers of fibrous material bonded together, said process comprising the following steps of:-bringing onto a rotary mandrel having the section of the structure to be manufactured, a tape of fibrous material whose width is several times less than the length of a generatrix of said structure:-winding the tape over the mandrel to form superposed layers, each layer being formed by successive turns of the tape of fibrous material, and-during winding, successively bonding the layers together by needling, said needling being effected at the place where the tape is superposed on the mandrel or on the previously formed layer. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out said process. |
