A method for manufacturing a propeller blade or vane made of composite material, includes making a single-piece fibrous blank by three-dimensional weaving between warp yarns and weft yarns, including an airfoil part and a root part including a non-interlinking, the root part including at least one changing sub-area in which the number of weft yarns crossing on either side of the non-interlinking increases gradually from the airfoil part to the free end of the root part, shaping the fibrous blank to obtain a fibrous preform, densifying the preform by a matrix to obtain a propeller blade or vane made of composite material.

A method of bonding a composite vane to at least one support. The method includes positioning an end of a vane within a support, causing an adhesive to flow between the vane and the support from an inlet to an outlet, and reversing the flow of adhesive from the outlet towards the inlet.
