  • Publication number: 20220235663
    Abstract: A turbine engine has a blade with lower and upper surfaces. The blade has a root at a radially external end and includes a transverse head section in a plane perpendicular to a radial direction of the blade, taken at the radially external end with a first center of gravity. The root has a second center of gravity defined in a plane parallel to the transverse head section and transversely offset from the first center of gravity. The second center of gravity is defined in a predetermined zone at least partly demarcated by a V that is open towards the lower surface and includes a peak, the orthogonal projection of which on the transverse head section is located on the first center of gravity.

  • Patent number: 9879538
    Abstract: A blank casting for producing a turbine engine rotor blade, with a vane connected by a platform to a root, is provided. The root has an axial machining allowance intended to be removed by machining from each of its axial extremities. At least one of the axial extremities of the root includes at least one transverse channel that extends over the entire transverse width of the root and whose depth is greater than the machining allowance. A process for obtaining the blade by machining this blank casting is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9638049
    Abstract: A turbine engine blade includes an airfoil connected by a platform to a middle radial wall extending axially and prolonged radially inwards by a blade root that is mountable in a slot of a disk, and the platform and the middle radial wall defining two lateral cavities situated on either side of the middle radial wall and opening out circumferentially to receive scaling members. The cavities are open downstream with two fins projecting on either side of the middle radial wall at downstream end of the middle radial wall, the fins coming to bear against two adjacent teeth of the disk between which the slot is formed. The downstream end of the middle radial wall includes a setback extending between at least one rib of the platform and the fins.
