Abstract

A method is disclosed for manufacturing connecting members for connecting an aircraft wing to a center wing box, using preforms. The method involves a step of manufacturing at least one preform made of composite material forming the connecting member, and a step of assembling the preform or preforms by heat treatment to form the connecting member. The manufacturing method makes it possible, simply and quickly, to manufacture a connecting member that contributes to the connection between a center wing box of an aircraft and a wing of the aircraft.
