Abstract

Variable phase vane provided with a composite pivot having a joining piece for receiving the control pieces. The joining piece is made of a material less dense than the actual pivot. These two elements are force-fitted without using any weld or mechanical linking device. The vane finally obtained is thus rendered lighter in weight
