Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a platform for a fan assembly, comprising a flow passage wall extending in an axial direction having an upstream end and a downstream end, and comprising two axial stiffeners. The platform comprises radial retention means positioned at the upstream end and at the downstream end of the flow passage wall, the radial retention means being designed to each define a sliding connection with a corresponding shroud of the fan assembly and in that it comprises tangential retention means designed to define a sliding pivot connection between the platform and a disc of the fan assembly.
