Patent number: 10906667Abstract: A method for transporting a turbine engine held by a transport kit by a carriage. The transport kit connected to a connection member hoists the engine to connect to an aircraft fuselage. The transport kit is a structure which includes a hoisting interface (328) arranged on a rigid hoisting arm (318) which extends over the turbine engine and is connected to a rigid transport arm (316) which extends over a lateral side of the turbine engine. The transport arm is connected to at least two engine mounts (340) solid with the turbine engine. The transport arm (316), or one of the engine mounts connected to the transport arm, includes a transport interface (324) that can be supported by a bearing element (332) of a truck (326) used for transporting the turbine engine.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Thierry Kohn, Stephane Baucher, Damien Cesar, Alexandre Dervaux, Franck Dubreucq, Thibaud Mangin

Patent number: 7658591Abstract: A layout for cooling a blade having a cavity surrounded by an internal wall including cooling fins which are spaced apart from each other by a pitch (p) and each have a thickness (e). The blade has, inside the cavity, a jacket passed through by emission holes each having a diameter (d). When the jacket is in place in the cavity of the blade, and in respect of the critical operating point of the turbine engine, each emission hole of the jacket is opposite a place on the internal wall of the blade which is located between cooling fins.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Alexandre Dervaux, Jean-Michel Bernard Guimbard, Damien Gilbert Andre Redon, Pascal Bertrand Yves Claude Papot
