  • Patent number: 9422818
    Abstract: A rotor wheel for a gas turbine engine, the wheel including: a metal holder disk including a plurality of teeth at its periphery, the teeth extending radially outwards from the disk; a plurality of composite material blades, each blade including a root engaged between two adjacent teeth of the holder disk and that is held against the teeth by a pivot connection; a clamp disk including a plurality of teeth at its periphery extending in an axial direction, the clamp disk being fastened against the holder disk and on the same axis, with each of its teeth taking up a circumferential position between a blade root and a tooth of the holder disk; and a mechanism exerting a clamping force in a circumferential direction urging the teeth of the clamp disk against the blade roots.

  • Patent number: 8757966
    Abstract: A stationary vane assembly of a turbine engine including an inner casing and a high-pressure turbine guide vane assembly including at least two angular sectors including blades, the angular sectors being fixed on the casing, each angular sector including a platform and a fastening tab. The fastening tab protrudes from the platform radially inwardly. The casing includes a first annular groove receiving the fastening tabs, radial retaining pins for the angular sectors being introduced into bores made in the casing and the fastening tabs, the axial retaining pins being axially stopped by a ring mounted in a second annular groove of the casing.
