A stator of an aircraft turbine engine, comprising an annular row of fixed vanes and an annular row of arms, wherein the trailing edges of the fixed vanes are positioned substantially in a first transverse plane that is positioned downstream of a second transverse plane that passes substantially through the leading edges of the arms.

A generator system that includes an engine and an alternator which is driven by the engine to generate electrical power. A radiator is connected to the engine and an axial fan directs air toward the radiator to cool the radiator. A plurality of static vanes is located between the axial fan and the radiator. Each static vane includes an inner end and an outer end, the inner ends of the static vanes being joined together. The static vanes are curved in a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis in order to direct the air towards the axis, thereby counterbalancing the centrifugal forces. The static vanes may be twisted, the pitch angle increasing from 0 degree at hub to circa 45 degrees at tip. Additionally, each static vane is attached to the shroud via a third member that extends axially, thereby allowing an axial offset between shroud and static vanes.

A stator vane assembly for a compressor of a gas turbine, in particular of an aircraft engine, including a plurality of stator vanes whose airfoil sections form a stagger angle with an axis of rotation of the compressor, which stagger angle varies along a duct height of the stator vane assembly. Along the duct height from the inside to the outside, the stagger angle increases to a local maximum in a second section adjoining a first, radially innermost section, and decreases to an outer local minimum in a third section adjoining this second section and, along the duct height from the inside to the outside, the stagger angle decreases from the initial value to an inner local minimum in the first, radially innermost section and/or increases from the outer local minimum to a final value in a fourth, radially outermost section adjoining the third section.

A system includes an airfoil disposed inside an engine assembly that includes a pressure side and a suction side that are coupled together at a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil extends a radial length away from a central axis of the engine assembly between a hub end and a tip end. The airfoil includes a sweep feature disposed at the leading edge that is shaped to alter the air inside the engine assembly. Altering the air inside the engine assembly reduces a surface unsteady pressure level on the airfoil. The system includes a fan frame assembly comprising an inner and outer surface. The hub end is coupled with the inner surface and the tip end is coupled with the outer surface. The airfoil is integrated with the fan frame assembly such that the airfoil increases a structural load supporting capability of the fan frame assembly.

The present disclosure relates to a support frame for a ventilation device for cooling a fluid which passes through a cooling circuit of a motor vehicle. The support frame comprises an opening, which is designed to receive a propeller, and a central support, which is positioned in a center of the opening. The central support is formed to receive a motor which activates the propeller, so as to generate a ventilation flow. The central support is attached through the opening to the support frame by retention arms. The retention arms extend according to a curved form, between the central support and a periphery of the opening.

The present invention relates to a blade row group arrangeable in a main flow path of a fluid-flow machine and including N adjacent member blade rows firmly arranged relative to one another in both the meridional direction and the circumferential direction, with the number N of the member blade rows being greater than/equal to 2 and (i) designating the running index with values between 1 and N, with a front member blade row (i) as well as a rear member blade row (i+1) being provided, and with the blade row group having two main flow path boundaries. It is provided that there is a gap between one blade end of at least one blade of at least one of the member blade rows and at least one of the two main flow path boundaries.

Provided are a blower, capable of suppressing noise occurring in a stator while significantly improving blowing efficiency, and an outdoor unit using the same. The present disclosure comprises: a bell mouth part spaced apart at a predetermined distance in the radial direction with respect to an outer circumferential end of a propeller fan; and a diffuser part installed on the downstream side of the bell mouth part, and having a flow path area which is enlarged from the upstream side toward the downstream side with a larger magnification rate than the magnification rate of the flow path area in the downstream end of the bell mouth part; and a stator part having a plurality of stators, wherein the stator part is arranged within the diffuser part.

Compressor components, such as blades and vanes, having an airfoil portion with an uncoated, nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1. X and Y are distances in inches which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each Z distance in inches. The profile sections at the Z distances are joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

Variable stator vane assemblies and stator vanes thereof having a local swept leading edge are provided. The variable stator vane comprises an airfoil disposed between spaced apart inner and outer buttons centered about a rotational axis. The inner and outer buttons each have a button forward edge portion. The airfoil includes leading and trailing edges, pressure and suction sides, and a root and a tip. The leading edge includes a local forward sweep at the root, a local aft sweep at the tip, or both, thereby forming a locally swept leading edge thereat. The button forward edge portion of one or both of the inner and outer buttons is substantially coextensive with the locally swept leading edge. Methods are also provided for minimizing endwall leakage in the variable stator vane assembly using the same.

A guide vane assembly for a stator vane stage comprises at least two aerofoil members joined together using a vane assembly attachment web. The vane assembly attachment web may be provided at the inner and/or outer radius of the aerofoil members. The vane assembly attachment web allows the guide vane assembly to be attached to an inner and/or outer attachment ring, thereby forming a stator vane stage. Such an arrangement may allow composite fiber reinforced guide vane assemblies to be readily assembled together to form stator vane stages. Stator vane stages that comprise such composite fiber reinforced guide vane assemblies may be lighter than conventional metallic stator vane stages.
