A combustion chamber for a rocket engine, the combustion chamber including a combustion chamber body enclosing a combustion chamber volume and a nozzle portion tapering in a longitudinal direction of the combustion chamber and adjoining the combustion chamber body. The combustion chamber body has at least one first portion and a second portion, wherein an inner surface of the at least one first portion facing the combustion chamber volume is closer to a cross-sectional center of the combustion chamber body than an inner surface of the second portion of the combustion chamber body. Furthermore, a additive layer manufacturing method for manufacturing such a combustion chamber is described.

A gas turbine engine article includes a substrate that has a pre-bond surface that includes a serpentine groove. A coating is disposed on the pre-bond surface and mechanically interlocks with the serpentine groove.

A method for manufacturing a structural surface heat exchanger of preset or left-hand final shape for an aircraft includes the steps of forming, shaping and assembling, by welding or brazing, a first corrugated skin and a second smooth skin in order to obtain channels. Each channel is delimited by a corrugation of the first skin and the second smooth skin so as to form a structural surface heat exchanger of preset or left-hand final shape, wherein a fluid is configured to circulate in the channels and air is configured to circulate in contact with the second smooth skin.

A fixed vane turbocharger includes: an impeller; a housing including, inside thereof, an impeller housing space which accommodates the impeller, a scroll flow passage formed on a radially outer side of the impeller, and a communication flow passage which brings the impeller housing space and the scroll flow passage into communication; and at least one fixed vane unit disposed in the communication flow passage and fixed to a portion of the housing on an inner side of the scroll flow passage with respect to a radial direction of the impeller. Each of the at least one fixed vane unit includes at least two vane portions and a coupling portion coupling the two vane portions, and is formed of a single sheet metal member.
