An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an array of pins positioned in an internal cavity of the airfoil, such that cooling channels are defined in the interspaces between adjacent pins. Each pin extends lengthwise from a first airfoil wall to a second airfoil wall and is connected thereto at a first intersection and at a second intersection respectively. The pin has a first cross-sectional shape at a respective intersection and a second cross-sectional shape at an intermediate plane located between the first and second intersections. The first cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively sharp corners and the second cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively rounded corners. A cross-sectional area of the pin at the intermediate plane is greater than a cross-sectional area of the pin at the respective intersection.

Turbomachine hollow blade (11) comprising at least one vane (14) having lateral walls (15) which are intended to guide a flow in a flow path around the vane and which are fixed to a first platform (12) at a first longitudinal end of the vane (14), the vane (14) further comprising an internal cavity between the lateral walls (15), which cavity is intended for passing a vane-cooling fluid, with a fluid inlet opening (19) opening through said first platform (12), characterized in that a gyroid surface network (18) fills at least part of the cavity, being arranged therein so as to guide the cooling fluid, and is in contact with at least part of the lateral walls (15).

A system and a method of designing a nacelle for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centre line. The nacelle includes an air intake, an internal surface, an azimuthal angle, and a plurality of intake lines. The air intake comprises, in flow series, an intake lip, a throat and a diffuser. The internal surface at least partially defines the air intake. The azimuthal angle is defined about the longitudinal centre line. The intake lines extend along the internal surface of the nacelle at respective values of the azimuthal angle. Each intake line axially defines the air intake along the longitudinal centre line at the respective value of the azimuthal angle. The internal surface of the nacelle between the plurality of intake lines at a given axial location along the longitudinal centre line is analytically defined by an equation.

A method for producing a metal bladed element of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, includes steps of producing the bladed element, depositing a coating made of wear-proof material on at least one portion of the bladed element and verifying, preferably visually, the conformity of the bladed element. Verifying the conformity of the bladed element includes implementing a verification element on the bladed element. The bladed element is configured according to a conformity threshold value to conceal a non-conformity of the coating, if the non-conformity has at least one dimension less than the threshold value, and to show at least one portion of this non-conformity if the at least one dimension is greater than the threshold value.

An airfoil assembly for a turbine engine comprising an outer band, an inner band radially spaced inwardly from the outer band to define an annular region, and multiple airfoils circumferentially spaced within the annular region. Each corresponding airfoil of the multiple airfoils can project from a surface at a root and can further include an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side. A projection can extend upwardly from the surface on the pressure side and a valley can extend into the surface on the suction side to define a contour in the surface.
