Patent number: 10844725Abstract: A leading edge shield for a turbomachine blade extends heightwise from a bottom end to a top end, presents an outside face overlying a leading edge and an inside face for fastening to a blade body, and includes a pressure side wing, a suction side wing, and a central section joining together the pressure side wing and the suction side wing. Between the outside face and the inside face, the central section presents thickness that is greater than the thicknesses of the pressure side and suction side wings. The thickness of the central section increases with a gradient that is stable or increasing over a first segment from the bottom end of the leading-edge shield, but it presents a gradient that decreases beyond said first segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Frédéric Jean-Bernard Pouzadoux, Alain Jacques Michel Bassot, Jérémy Guivarc'h, Gilles Pierre-Marie Notarianni, Thibault Ruf
