The support portion includes a seat surface and an open surface. The deformable portion is connected to the support portion and extends in an inclined manner. The deformable portion includes a contact surface and an opposite surface. The protrusion portion protrudes from at least one of the open surface of the support portion and the opposite surface of the deformable portion.

A turbine engine having an engine core, a first seal structure, a plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes, a plurality of struts, and a second seal structure. The engine core can define a rotor and a stator having a casing. The first seal structure can include a finger seal projecting from the rotor. The plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes can include an uppers band mounted to the casing, and a lower band located radially above the finger seal. At least some of the struts of the plurality of struts can extend through the plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes. The second seal structure can form a seat with the lower band.

A rotor assembly includes a plurality of wheels and a tie bolt that extends through the plurality of wheels and applies a compressive force to the plurality of wheels. The tie bolt includes a first segment with a first stiffness and a second segment with a second stiffness to allow for thermal growth of the plurality of wheels.

Nozzle of a spacecraft engine, comprising a nozzle body extending along a main direction, from a proximal end secured to the engine of the spacecraft, and a free distal end, said nozzle body having a plurality of stiffeners extending from an outer surface of the nozzle body, radially with respect to the main direction, said nozzle comprising a thermal insulation system, comprising at least one strip of insulating material disposed so as to surround the outer surface of the nozzle body over at least part of the height of said nozzle body-, said thermal insulation system comprising a plurality of holding elements, each holding element being positioned so as to surround said strips of insulating material, and being disposed between two stiffeners of the nozzle body.

Vacuum pump comprising a housing, a rotor shaft disposed in the housing, at least one bearing rotatably supporting the rotor shaft against the housing including an inner race in contact with the rotor shaft and an outer race in contact with the housing, and an axial spring applying an axial force onto the outer race, wherein a bearing ring is disposed between the axial spring and the outer race, the bearing ring applying a clamping force to the housing.

A turbine shroud assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes a shroud segment and a carrier. The shroud segment extends circumferentially partway around an axis to define a gas path boundary of the turbine shroud assembly. The carrier is configured to support the shroud segment in position radially relative to the axis.

A structure for the nacelle of an aircraft propulsion unit includes a first skin and stiffeners arranged to hold acoustic treatment modules against the first skin. Each acoustic treatment module includes a honeycomb core and a second skin, such that the honeycomb core is sandwiched between the first skin and the second skin. Such a structure allows the structural reinforcement function provided by the stiffeners to be separated from the acoustic treatment function performed by the acoustic treatment modules which are simply bearing on the first skin.

An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.

A device for attaching a connecting rod small end for a thrust reversal cascade flap onto a fixed internal structure of a turbojet engine nacelle includes a fitting configured to be fixed to the internal structure and a connection interface forming a joint between the connecting rod small end and the fitting. The device further includes a removable fork configured to cooperate with the connection interface, wherein the fork and the connection interface are arranged inside the fitting.
