The invention discloses a method for assisting in forming a composite material propeller blade by using air bag inflation. A flexible air bag is adopted to perform inflation manufacturing on a skin shell of the propeller blade, and then a foaming process is adopted to manufacture an internal core material. The method specifically comprises the steps of carrying out forming tool design, carrying out skin prepreg laying, placing flexible air bag, carrying out die assembly installation, carrying out inflation curing, carrying out inner core filling and the like. According to the method, the pressure applied by compressed air can be uniformly and accurately transmitted, the thickness uniformity of a skin structure is guaranteed, meanwhile, the internal quality of the skin is guaranteed, and the problem of sandwich pressure loss or insufficient filling in a die pressing process is avoided; and compared with a die pressing and autoclave process, the method has the advantages that the operation is simple, the equipment cost is relatively low, and the method can be used for large-batch manufacturing. In addition, the flexible air bag used in the method can be repeatedly used, the materialsare easy to purchase, the manufacturing process is simple, the production cost is effectively reduced, and the manufacturing period is effectively shortened.
