Rotating machine
A rotating machine includes a casing having a hollow shape; a rotator rotatably supported in the casing; a stator blade fixed to an inner peripheral portion of the casing; a rotor blade fixed to an outer peripheral portion of the rotator while being displaced from the stator blade in an axial direction of the rotator; a sealing device disposed between the inner peripheral portion of the casing and a tip of the rotor blade; a swirling flow generation chamber provided along a circumferential direction of the rotator on a downstream side of the sealing device in the casing in a fluid flow direction; and guiding members provided at predetermined intervals in the swirling flow generation chamber in the circumferential direction of the rotator. The guiding members each include a first guiding surface that is inclined in the circumferential direction with respect to the axial direction of the rotator.
SERVICE ROUTING CONFIGURATION FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE DIFFUSER SYSTEM
Provided is a radial diffuser that includes a housing, a plurality of diffuser vanes, and a plurality of deswirl vanes and at least one vane extension providing a service routing. Each of the vane extensions is disposed after a radial section and may extend into or through a transition and into the deswirl cascade. At least a portion of the vane extensions include a service passage extending therethrough. Each service passage is configured to allow a service conduit to extend therethrough without adversely crossing either a diffusion flow passage or a transition flow passage.
ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM COMPRISING A HINGED STRUCTURE SUPPORTING THE FAN COWL AND THE THRUST REVERSER
An assembly includes a structure with 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock beams and front and rear curved beams, in which the 12 o'clock beam is mounted to be able to rotate on a pylon of an aircraft between a closed position and a raised position, a fan cowl fixed to the structure, a thrust reverser with a rear cowl and that is able to move in translation along the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock beams between a forward position and a backward position, cascades fixed to the thrust reverser, and a mover for moving the thrust reverser. With such an arrangement, the fan cowl and the thrust reverser are fixed to the same structure, and it is this structure that is hinged to the pylon.
Long-fibre-reinforced-joints-composite thrust reverser cascade
Thrust reverser composite cascade (1), comprising at least one longitudinal wall (15) and transverse walls (14) connecting to this longitudinal wall, characterized in that the longitudinal wall comprises at least one continuous longitudinal fibre bundle (19) and the transverse walls each comprise at least one continuous transverse fibre bundle (23) crossing the longitudinal bundle, so that the intersections (16) of the transverse and longitudinal walls are structurally bridged in both directions by the reinforcing continuous longitudinal and transverse fibre bundles.
THRUST REVERSER CASCADE ARRAY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
A method of producing a cascade array and a cascade array is provided. The method includes: forming a plurality of strongbacks from a first thermoplastic material; forming a plurality of comb subassemblies, each said comb subassembly including one of the plurality of strongbacks and a plurality of vanes comprising a second thermoplastic material extending outwardly from the respective one of the plurality strongbacks; and attaching the plurality of comb subassemblies into a unitary structure to produce the cascade array.
Turbofan engine comprising a set of rotatable blades for blocking off the bypass flow duct
A turbofan engine having a duct for a bypass flow and blades. Each blade is mobile between a stowed position and a deployed position. Each blade includes a rigid core a second, free end, and a sheath into which the core and the second end slide. Each sheath includes a first part which surrounds at least one part of the core and the second end, and an aileron which extends beyond the core facing the first part of the adjacent blade. The sheath is made of a flexible material such that the bypass flow causes the sheath to come into contact with the first part of the adjacent blade. A turbofan engine of this kind makes it possible to create blades whose production costs are low but whose aerodynamic behavior is effective.
Forming a thrust reverser cascade using corrugated bodies
A manufacturing process is provided during which a thrust reverser cascade is formed for an aircraft propulsion system. During the formation of the thrust reverser cascade, a first panel of material is stamped into a first corrugated body. A second panel of material is stamped into a second corrugated body. The first corrugated body is bonded to the second corrugated body.
Turbofan comprising a system comprising flexible screens for closing off the bypass duct
A turbofan having a nacelle delimiting a duct for a bypass flow and including a fixed structure including a guide vane support with guide vanes, a mobile cowl movable in translation between an advanced position and a retracted position, arms, each one being mobile in rotation on the guide vane support between a stowed position and a deployed position and comprising a distal end and a proximal end, for each pair of adjacent arms, a flexible screen extending angularly between the two arms, and of which an exterior edge is attached to the guide vane support, and wherein the distal end of each arm is fixed along the interior edge, a link rod mounted articulated between the distal ends, actuators to cause the mobile cowl to move, and an operating system which moves each arm. Such an arrangement allows a reduction in weight.
Grid-type thrust reverser for turbojet engine
A grid-type thrust reverser for a turbojet engine includes a moving O-shaped thrust reverser body that is generally cylindrical in shape around a longitudinal central axis (A) and includes an inner wall configured to delimit a cold air stream, with an inner structure that surrounds the turbojet engine, the movable thrust reverser body being mounted so as to be able to slide along the longitudinal central axis (A) between a direct jet position in which the outer cowl covers the thrust reverser grids, and a thrust-reversal position in which the outer cowl uncovers the thrust reverser grids. The movable thrust reverser body includes a first half-portion and a second half-portion that are mounted so as to each pivot about a longitudinal pivot axis (B), between a closed position and an open gullwing position for removing the turbojet engine, via the cradle.
FLUID SCOOP FOR A THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This aircraft propulsion system assembly includes a thrust reverser system. The thrust reverser system includes a cascade structure and a scoop. The cascade structure is configured with a plurality of flow passages. Each of the flow passages extends through the cascade structure. The flow passages include a first flow passage. The scoop is configured to direct fluid into at least the first flow passage. The scoop includes a serrated leading edge.
