  • Patent number: 7412819
    Abstract: A turbojet has a low-pressure compressor and two fans at the front of an intermediate casing which fans are driven by two independent shafts. The compressor is disposed under the rear fan and has a downstream ring of rotor blades connecting the rear fan to the drive shaft of the rear fan, an upstream rotor blade ring that is connected to the drive shaft of the front fan and at least one ring of stator blades that is disposed between the rings of rotor blades and inside an outer stator that is supported by a second intermediate casing. Bearings are interposed respectively between the two intermediate casings and the two shafts.

  • Patent number: 7299621
    Abstract: The invention relates to aerodynamically matching the rear fan of a turbojet having two fans and a low-pressure compressor at the front of the intermediate casing, said fans being driven by two independent shafts. Said compressor is disposed between the blades of the two fans and includes at least one ring of rotor blades around the periphery of a wheel driven by the drive shaft for the front fan, and at least two grids of stator vanes disposed on either side of the ring of rotor blades and inside a grid carrier ring. A stationary outer grid and a stator of variable pitch connect the ring to the fan casing.

  • Publication number: 20070231133
    Abstract: The invention concerns a turbine module for a gas turbine engine that includes at least an annular distributor and a turbine rotor inside a casing, where the annular distributor includes a variety of elements in the form of a ring sector, of which a first part supports fixed blades positioned radially towards the turbine axis, and a second part forms a sealing resource with the tips of the turbine rotor blades. The module is characterised by the fact that the said elements in the form of a ring sector are held inside the casing by attachment resources. The invention applies in particular to modules that include 3 to 6 turbine stages.

  • Publication number: 20060277920
    Abstract: The invention relates to a twin spool turbine engine comprising a high-pressure rotor and a low-pressure rotor, at least one accessory gearbox, a drive means, driving coaxial transmission shafts that transmit movement to the accessory gearbox, characterized in that the drive means comprises a high-pressure drive pinion secured to the high-pressure rotor near its upstream end, a low-pressure drive pinion secured to the low-pressure rotor upstream of the high-pressure rotor, and a power take-off module in direct mesh with the drive pinions, driving the transmission shafts. By virtue of the invention, the transmission shafts run coaxial with one another and therefore pass through a single arm. The use of a power take-off module simplifies the mechanism. The turbine engine is simpler to assemble.

  • Publication number: 20060251520
    Abstract: The invention concerns a turbine module for a gas-turbine engine with a turbine rotor composed of four disks at least supporting blades at their periphery, and where two of the said disks form a monoblock body. The module is characterised by the fact that the said monoblock body includes two lateral inter-disk ferrules, the said ferrules being bolted on the disks of the two rotors adjacent to the monoblock body. The invention applies in particular to turbine modules composed of 4 to 6 turbine stages.

  • Publication number: 20050172610
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbojet having two counter-rotatable fans (3, 5) at the front of an intermediate casing (2), said fans being secured to a counter-rotatable low-pressure compressor (7). The blades (14) of the rear fan (5) extend into the by-pass air flow (F2) from a wheel (15) that surrounds the outer rotor (20) of the low-pressure compressor (7). The distance (L) between the blades (10) of the front fan (3) and the blades (14) of the rear fan (5) is not less than twice the length (l) of the projection onto the axis of the cord-line of the blades (10) of the front fan (3).
