  • Publication number: 20050089390
    Abstract: The invention concerns a turbine engine with an axis of rotation B comprising a blower casing (10) and a blower (V) with movable blades (17). A clearance lies between the internal surface of the casing and the free ends of the blades. A bearing of the blower is connected to fixed parts of the turbine engine by connections such that, in the event of a load on the blower blades, these connections break and the axis of rotation of the blower oscillates about the axis of rotation B. The casing comprises, bonded to its internal surface and over at least part of the extent of the clearance, a layer of thermoformable foam (19) placed opposite the ends of the blades (17) of the blower (V).
