  • Patent number: 11846206
    Abstract: A turbine vane of a turbine engine is described. The turbine vane includes a blade and a root. The root includes a stilt having lateral flanks with a curvilinear profile. The stilt includes a frangible zone suitable for undergoing a breakage of the stilt if radial forces higher than a threshold are exerted on the vane, in particular centrifugal forces during an overspeed state of the turbine. The frangible zone includes at least one oblong frangibility recess formed on at least one of the lateral flanks of the stilt, the oblong recess extending in an axial direction of the stilt along a longitudinal axis parallel to or included in a minimum cross-sectional plane which contains a minimum cross-section of the stilt.
