  • Vane for a turbine engine with optimized heel and method for optimizing a vane profile
    Patent number: 12060809
    Abstract: A turbine engine has a blade with lower and upper surfaces. The blade has a root at a radially external end and includes a transverse head section in a plane perpendicular to a radial direction of the blade, taken at the radially external end with a first center of gravity. The root has a second center of gravity defined in a plane parallel to the transverse head section and transversely offset from the first center of gravity. The second center of gravity is defined in a predetermined zone at least partly demarcated by a V that is open towards the lower surface and includes a peak, the orthogonal projection of which on the transverse head section is located on the first center of gravity.
