  • Publication number: 20220170371
    Abstract: An aircraft turbine engine blade includes at least one inner cavity for circulating a ventilation air flow and having a wall with first projecting elements oriented in a first direction and forming air flow disrupters, and at least a second projecting element oriented in a second direction different from the first direction. The second projecting element and at least one of the first projecting elements overlap each other in one area. At least one of the first projecting elements overlaps the second projecting element and has a height (H2, H4?) which is greater than that of the second projecting element in the area and greater than that of the other first projecting elements of the wall, in order to retain its disruptive function along the entire length thereof.
