The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rocker arm for the landing gear of an aircraft, including a body that is provided with a double yoke (24) comprising two flanges (19, 21) arranged parallel to a radial direction with respect to the body, comprising the steps of: forming a first mandrel; applying one or more first layers of braided fibers (11) onto the first mandrel; mounting, onto the thus-formed assembly a second mandrel element extending between the two flanges (19, 21) of the yoke (24) to be formed; applying one or more second layers of braided fibers (17) onto the thus-formed assembly; injecting a resin into the various layers (11, 17) and polymerizing said resin; and machining the thus-formed unfinished part, so as to form a notch that passes through the second braided layers (17) in order to separate the two flanges (19, 21) of the double yoke (24) from one another.

PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE, GENERALLY TRIANGULAR, STRUCTURAL PART
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a composite element (25) comprising three arms (22, 23, 24) arranged in a triangle, comprising the operations of: manufacturing a woven three-dimensional preform of reinforcing fibres comprising through-slots delimiting two arms (22, 23) and two half-arms completely parallel and contiguous in pairs, each arm (22, 23) having one end via which it is connected to a half-arm and another end via which it is connected to the other arm (22, 23); shaping the preform by opening it out and by joining the two half-arms thereof together in order to configure it into a triangle; firmly attaching the half-arms to one another by stitching of reinforcing fibres; injecting the resin into this preform and polymerizing it.
