  • Patent number: 11846250
    Abstract: A turbofan aircraft propulsion assembly includes a retractable heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can be deployed in a secondary flow path of the propulsion assembly so as to cool a fluid circulating in a circuit of a transfer module of the heat exchanger using a secondary flow circulating in the secondary flow path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 19, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINES
    Inventors: Alexandre Gérard François Couilleaux, Mathieu Lasne

  • Patent number: 10518869
    Abstract: A turboprop including a propeller including a blade extending in a direction, which also includes a root, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a wing tip, and an inner air stream channel, wherein the inner air stream channel includes an inlet located at the root of the blade and an outlet leading to the trailing edge of the blade transversely directed in relation to the main elongation direction, such that an inner stream of air flowing in the inner air stream channel by entering via the inlet adjacent to the root of the blade is discharged via the outlet adjacent to the trailing edge of the blade by forming a stream of blown air that moves away from the trailing edge in a direction which is transverse to the main elongation direction and which has a component in the direction of a skeleton line of the blade at the trailing edge.

  • Patent number: 10054049
    Abstract: An air guidance device for a turbomachine includes an air supply channel of a turbomachine engine. The supply channel has an upstream section and a downstream section connected together by a diverting section, the upstream section and the diverting section being connected together via an internal elbow and an external elbow. At the internal elbow, the internal surface has a groove extending longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the supply channel and the longitudinal edges of which are widened in the direction of the downstream end of the upstream section of the supply channel.

  • Publication number: 20160123228
    Abstract: Air intake sleeve (32) for an aircraft turboprop engine, comprising an air bleed duct (54) that is oriented substantially along a first axis (A) and a duct (56) for supplying air to a compressor, which duct is oriented substantially along a second axis (B), at a distance from the first axis and substantially in parallel with the first axis, said air bleed duct and said supply duct being interconnected by an intermediate duct (60) having a general S shape, when viewed from the side, characterised in that said intermediate duct comprises, on at least one of the walls thereof, means for sucking air into the flow path of the intermediate duct, said suction means (64, 66) being positioned and/or designed to suck a boundary layer of said flow path.
