Abstract: A method of forming an Al2O3/SiO2 stack comprising injecting into the reaction chamber, through an ALD process, at least one silicon containing compound selected from the group consisting of: BDEAS Bis(diethylamino)silane SiH2(NEt2)2, BDMAS Bis(dimethylamino)silane SiH2(NMe2)2, BEMAS Bis(ethylmethylamino)silane SiH2(NEtMe)2, DIPAS (Di-isopropylamido)silane SiH3(NiPr2), DTBAS (Di tert-butylamido)silane SiH3(NtBu2); injecting into the reaction chamber an oxygen source selected in the list: oxygen, ozone, oxygen plasma, water, CO2 plasma, N2O plasma; and injecting on said silicon oxide film, through an ALD process, at least one aluminum containing compound selected in the list: Al(Me)3, Al(Et)3, Al(Me)2(OiPr), Al(Me)2(NMe)2 or Al(Me)2(NEt)2.

Abstract: The invention provides a mechanical part for hinging to other mechanical parts at its ends, the mechanical part being made at least in part out of composite material from a central fiber preform and a peripheral fiber preform both of three-dimensional woven fabric, which preforms are assembled together while dry and then impregnated with resin, the peripheral preform surrounding the central preform in such a manner as to leave two empty spaces at the ends of the part and between the two preforms, which spaces are dedicated to hinging to said other parts. Metal inserts can be received in said spaces. The mechanical part can be used as a lever for a landing gear brace.

Abstract: A fan rotor includes a disk having a rim with a plurality of substantially axial grooves that are spaced apart angularly. Removable blades extend radially outwards from the periphery of the disk. Each blade has a blade root in a respective groove. A downstream flange plate can be secured to the disk with the downstream faces of the blade roots being in abutment against the downstream flange plate. An upstream flange plate is secured to the disk so as to retain the blade roots in the grooves. In the rotor, the upstream flange plate is fitted on its downstream face with a resilient device configured to exert sufficient force on the upstream faces of the blade roots, after assembly, to prevent an axial displacement of the blades during normal operation (apart from exceptional events of the type in which foreign bodies are ingested or blades are lost).

Abstract: The invention relates to a fan rotor comprising a disk having a rim with a plurality of substantially axial grooves that are regularly spaced apart angularly, a plurality of removable blades extending radially outwards from the periphery of said disk, each blade having a blade root received in a respective groove, a downstream flange plate secured to said disk with the downstream faces of the blade roots being in abutment thereagainst, and a removable upstream flange plate secured to said disk for the purpose of retaining the blade roots in the grooves. In the rotor, the upstream flange plate is fitted on its downstream face with resilient means for exerting sufficient force on the upstream faces of the blade roots, after assembly, to prevent any axial displacement of the blades during normal operation of the engine (apart from exceptional events of the type in which foreign bodies are ingested or blades are lost).
