  • Publication number: 20230228201
    Abstract: An annular intermediate casing for a turbomachine through which an aerodynamic airstream circulates, including a radially internal shroud (31), a radially external shroud, at least one stator blade including a vane with a leading edge, and at least one aero-dynamic member which is formed of a structural arm extending radially at least in part between the radially internal shroud and the radially external shroud. The aerodynamic member includes a leading edge which is aligned with the leading edge of the stator blade in one plane and which is borne by a profiled portion positioned upstream of the structural arm in the direction of circulation of the aerodynamic airstream, the profiled portion, the structural arm, the radially internal shroud and the radially external shroud being monobloc.

  • Patent number: 9545762
    Abstract: A coupling made of composite material including a polymer matrix reinforced by a fiber structure is disclosed. The coupling includes a structural portion reinforced by a main fiber structure, and a first machining portion reinforced by a first fiber structure that is distinct from the main fiber structure. The matrices of the structural portion and of the first machining portion are identical. The first machining portion is situated on at least a fraction of the main face of the structural portion and is machined in a first machining surface. There is no intersection between the first machining surface and the fibers of the main fiber structure.

  • Patent number: 8322971
    Abstract: A composite material casing of varying thickness, in particular for a gas turbine fan, is made by forming fiber reinforcement and densifying the reinforcement with a matrix. The fiber reinforcement is made by winding superposed layers of a fiber texture onto a mandrel, the texture being made by three-dimensional weaving with varying thickness.

  • Patent number: 8038386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intermediate casing of a turbojet comprising, between an inner hub and an outer cylindrical shroud, a plurality of radial arms at least one of which is hollow, a radial transmission shaft for driving the auxiliary machines being mounted rotatably in said radial arm, a first end of the transmission shaft passing through the inner hub and the second end passing through the outer cylindrical shroud. The housing is notable in that the inner volume consists of a single compartment housing the transmission shaft and forming a passageway for a lubrication fluid.
