Abstract: A rear part for a turbojet engine includes a variable-geometry nozzle in which a convergent flap is provided with a lever supporting a bearing roller arranged axially between an upstream bearing wall and a downstream bearing wall, which are rigidly secured to a movable part capable of moving axially on command with respect to an upstream stator structure in such a way that the bearing roller is free to move with respect to the upstream and downstream bearing walls in a radial direction. During a downstream movement of the movable part, the upstream bearing wall pushes the lever to pivot a downstream end of the convergent flap towards the longitudinal axis. Operation of the drive mechanism for moving the movable part can thus be optimized while limiting the size and the mass of the mechanism for controlling the flaps.

Abstract: A turbine nozzle or a compressor diffuser includes sectors made of CMC material, each having an inner platform, an outer platform, and airfoils. An abradable material support ring is made up of sectors, each presenting upstream and downstream attachment tabs. Each inner platform presents on the inside an upstream hook and a downstream hook, and the abradable material support ring is supported by the nozzle or the diffuser by mutually engaging without fastening together firstly the end portions of the upstream attachment tabs and the upstream hooks and secondly the end portions of the downstream attachment tabs and the downstream hooks.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a composite material casing for a gas turbine engine, the method including making an outer shroud including a platform and a flange, making an inner shroud of smaller diameter than the outer shroud and including a platform and a flange, making a plurality of casing arms, each including a blade that is terminated at each radial end by a respective platform, arranging a plurality of openings in the respective platforms of the shrouds, each opening serving to receive a platform of a casing arm, and assembling the casing arms with the outer shroud and with the inner shroud by inserting the platforms of the casing arms in the openings of the shrouds. A composite material casing is obtained by such a method.

Abstract: A method for fabricating turbine engine blade or vane made of composite material includes: performing three-dimensional weaving to make a single-piece fiber blank; shaping the fiber blank to obtain a single-piece fiber preform having a first portion forming a preform for at least a blade/vane airfoil, at least one second portion forming a preform for an inner part of a blade/vane inner platform or for an outer part of a blade/vane outer platform, and at least one third portion forming a preform for an outer part of a blade/vane inner platform or for an inner part of a blade/vane outer platform; and densifying the fiber preform with a matrix to obtain a composite material blade, and forming a single piece with an inner and/or outer platform(s) incorporated therein.
