The sketch has only (blue) construction geometry, which is not visible outside of sketcher. Select the elements you want to have and use Sketcher ToggleConstruction.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Don't do the first fin in the 1st sketch, you can't do Polar array anymore
I kept it but in blue, then I made the ailette with a copy of the same sketch, reversing the colors, and a Polar Array, and a Pocket to reduce the one in the middle
