Patent number: 10387611Abstract: A method for modeling an offset portion of a blade of a non-ducted propeller is provided. The method includes: parametrizing a C1-class curve representing a deformation of the blade characterizing the offset, according to a position along a section at a given height in the blade, the curve intersecting consecutively through a first bend control point, a central control point, and a second bend control point, the first and second bend control points defining the extent of the blade section, the parametrization being implemented according to a first deformation parameter defining the abscissa of the central control point, a second parameter of deformation defining the ordinate of the second bend point, and a third deformation parameter defining the angle of the tangent to the curve at the second bend control point; optimizing one of the deformation parameters; and plotting the values of the optimized parameters on an interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Cyril Verbrugge, Clement Marcel Maurice Dejeu, Anthony Pascal Eloi Louet, Jonathan Evert Vlastuin

Patent number: 10035582Abstract: A propeller blade extending radially between a blade root and a blade tip and having a leading edge and a trailing edge, together with a pressure side face and a suction side face. Along the leading edge, the angle (?) between the radial direction and a tangent to the leading edge passes through a local maximum zmax situated in the range 60% to 80% of the height of the blade. Furthermore, the suction side face of the blade includes an indentation extending axially from the leading edge to the trailing edge and located at a height of the blade between the local maximum zmax and the blade tip.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Jonathan Evert Vlastuin, Clement Marcel Maurice Dejeu
