  • Patent number: 10584603
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite material vane with a covering element, the vane including a platform and a profile extending perpendicularly to the platform, comprises the following steps: providing a covering element and a preform of the vane, the preform comprising a platform portion and a profile portion extending substantially perpendicularly to the platform portion; positioning the covering element against the platform portion so as to obtain an assembly; placing said assembly in a mold; injecting a first resin into the mold so that said resin impregnates and covers the preform and covers at least a portion of the covering element; and carrying out a heat treatment so as to harden the first resin.

  • Patent number: 9771968
    Abstract: A vaned wheel device traversed by a radial drive shaft includes radial arms, one of which contains the shaft, and stationary vanes manufactured separately from the casing and a ferrule and assembled thereto. A sleeve encompassing the shaft traverses the casing and serves to support a bearing for supporting the shaft with positional accuracy, and maintaining tightness by forming a single cavity with the radial arm cavities traversing the shaft.

  • Patent number: 9611863
    Abstract: A turbine engine casing, including a substantially cylindrical wall and a single-piece annular panel for acoustic insulation mounted radially inside the wall, is provided. The panel includes a radially outer annular surface fitted with upstream and downstream first projecting members respectively arranged in the upstream and downstream portions of the radially outer annular surface of the panel. The wall includes a radially inner annular surface fitted with upstream and downstream second projecting members that are releasably fastened respectively to the upstream and downstream first projecting members.
