  • Patent number: 6527503
    Abstract: A method of positioning arrays of stages of a turbine, particularly for aircraft engines; the turbine having an axis and a first, a second and a third array of blades arranged consecutively, and of which the first and third array have a relative velocity about the axis with respect to the second array; the method including the steps of determining the paths of wakes moving inside gaps defined by the blades in the second array and towards the third array; distinguishing, for each wake, a first and at least one second zone differing from each other; selecting one of the first and second zone; and regulating the position of the third array with respect to the first array by aligning the leading edges of the blades in the third array with the paths of the selected wake zones.

  • Publication number: 20030017051
    Abstract: A double-wall blade for a turbine, particularly for aeronautical applications, has a streamlined lateral wall, which extends along an axis, surrounds the axis itself, and is defined by an inner wall and an outer wall facing and integral with each other; the blade is provided with inner channeling, which has a cavity into which, in use, cooling air is admitted, and a number of ducts, which are provided tangentially between the inner wall and outer wall, are separated from one another by baffles which are transverse to the axis and have respective intakes which are separate from one another and communicate with the cavity in order, in use, each to have a corresponding flow of cooling air pass through them.
