  • Patent number: 10683087
    Abstract: A shrouded rotor assembly for an aircraft. The shrouded rotor assembly comprises a stator hollow structure comprises formed from a plurality of composite angular segments. Each composite angular segment includes: a core arched section of a central hub casing, a peripheral rim section of an external hollow duct and a pair of angularly opposed sliced portions, respectively for one of a pair of guide vanes. The resulting stator hollow structure is a unitary one-piece, integrating together continuously the composite angular segments. The invention typically applies e.g. to aircrafts such as rotary wing aircrafts.

  • Patent number: 9963226
    Abstract: A tail assembly for a rotorcraft. The tail assembly is manufactured to include at least one transition structure provided in the tail assembly. The transition structure is longitudinally arranged between a longitudinal median boom portion and a tail fin. A power transmission shaft of the rotorcraft extends at least partly externally above a longitudinal median boom portion of the tail assembly. The transition structure includes at an entering region a cut-out elevation step, where is made a passing through opening for the power transmission shaft.
