An apparatus for providing foreign object debris protection and anti-icing capabilities to an air intake of an aircraft engine. The apparatus includes a frame having at least a portion configured to conduct fluids. A tube is positioned such that different portions of the frame are fluidly connected. There is a discharge outlet defined within the frame that is configured to discharge fluids from the frame into the air intake. An inlet is defined within the frame and is fluidly connected to a compressor section of the aircraft engine. In this manner, air from the compressor section of the aircraft engine can flow through the inlet, through the tube, and through the discharge outlet, to return to the compressor section of the aircraft engine.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for a gas turbine engine including an offtake located within the air flow of the engine. The offtake has an inlet and a louver covering the inlet. The louver has multiple airfoils arranged to direct the air flow into the inlet of the offtake.

A gas turbine stator for aircraft engines has a blade array with a plurality of blades constituted by a series of first blades and a series of second blades with different geometries; the array is formed by a plurality of sectors, each having an inner portion, an outer portion, at least one first blade and a least one second blade, and each defined by a body made in one piece; a single first blade is alternated with a single second blade for the entire circumference of the stator.

An airfoil assembly defining a primary airflow path for a turbine engine comprising a platform, an airfoil extending from the platform and into at least a portion of the primary airflow path, a secondary airflow path comprising air from the primary airflow path, and a deflector provided within the secondary airflow path.

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.

An engine including a motor and a nacelle and a duct between the nacelle and the motor. The nacelle includes a fixed structure, a mobile assembly that is mobile between an advanced position and a retracted position to define a window between the duct and the outside, and a plurality of blades that are mobile in rotation between a stowed position and a deployed position, each one extending on either side of its axis of rotation with a first arm and a second arm. In the stowed position, the first arm is outside the duct and the second arm is inside the nacelle, and where, in the deployed position, the first arm is across the duct and the second arm projects out of the nacelle. With such blades, the flow of air is optimally directed towards the front without it being necessary to provide cascades.

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.

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.

A rotating machine includes a hollow casing; a rotating body 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 rotating body to be offset to the stator blade in an axial direction of the rotating body; a sealing device arranged between the inner peripheral portion and a tip of the rotor blade; a swirling flow generation chamber provided in the casing on a downstream side in a fluid flow direction from the sealing device along a circumferential direction of the rotating body; first guiding members provided in the swirling flow generation chamber along a radial direction and in a circumferential direction of the rotating body at predetermined intervals; and a second guiding member provided in the chamber along the circumferential direction while intersecting the first guiding members.

A rotating machine includes a rotating body rotatably supported in a casing; a rotor blade fixed to an outer peripheral portion of the rotating body; a stator blade arranged on a downstream side in a fluid flow direction with respect to the rotor blade and fixed to an inner peripheral portion of the casing; a sealing device arranged between the inner peripheral portion and a front end of the rotor blade; a swirling flow generation chamber provided in the casing on the downstream side from the sealing device along a circumferential direction of the rotating body; and guiding members provided in the swirling flow generation chamber along a radial direction of the rotating body and in the circumferential direction at predetermined intervals. The swirling flow generation chamber has a wall surface located on the downstream side from an edge of the stator blade on an upstream side.
