Abstract: A blade for an aircraft gas turbine engine includes, in a longitudinal direction, a blade root, a shank and an aerofoil body, the aerofoil body extending in the longitudinal direction between the shank and a blade tip and in a transverse direction between a leading edge made of metal material and a trailing edge. The blade includes a blade core made of composite material having a three-dimensional woven fibrous reinforcement forming the blade root, the shank and a part of the aerofoil body. The blade also includes a skin made of composite material having a two-dimensional woven fibrous reinforcement surrounding the aerofoil body part of the blade core, the skin being interposed between the leading edge made of metal material and a front edge of the aerofoil body part of the blade core to define a thinned leading edge portion, the skin including one or more two-dimensional woven plies.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement is provided between inner and outer coaxial ring-shaped walls of an aircraft engine. The outer wall has an axial end with a U-shaped cross-section parallel to axis, the opening therein being oriented axially in a first direction. The inner wall has an axial end with a U-shaped cross-section parallel to axis, the opening therein being oriented axially in the opposite direction. The U-shaped end of the outer wall includes a ring-shaped free edge axially engaged in the opening in the axial end of the inner wall. The U-shaped end of the inner wall includes a ring-shaped free edge axially engaged in the opening in the axial end of the outer wall. The walls define therebetween a ring-shaped gas channel having a substantially S-shaped axial cross-section.

Abstract: A system for changing the pitch of blades of at least one turbomachine rotor is provided. The system generally includes a control means acting on a connecting mechanism connected to the blades of the rotor and having a body mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis with respect to a fixed body, load-transfer bearing mounted on the mobile body cooperating with the connecting mechanism, and means for lubricating the bearing having a lubricant duct and extending radially above the fixed and mobile bodies. The duct generally includes first and second telescopic tubular parts that slide coaxially with respect to one another, the first part connected to the fixed body and the second part connected to the mobile body, and means for spraying lubricant into the bearing mounted on the mobile body and lubricant supply conduit mounted on the mobile body to connect the duct to the spraying means.

Abstract: A system changes the pitch of blades of a turbine engine propeller having a plurality of blades. The system includes a plurality of links, each link being connected to one of the propeller blades at a first interface, and a control means acting on the link and having a body movable in translation along a longitudinal axis. A load transfer module is arranged between the links and the control means and is connected to the links at a plurality of second interfaces.
