Patents by Inventor Pierre-Hugues Ambroise Maxime Victor RETIVEAU

Pierre-Hugues Ambroise Maxime Victor RETIVEAU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11891901
    Abstract: A variable-pitch stator blade includes an airfoil having a central portion with a first chord and a first skeleton line delimited by a leading edge and a trailing edge. An end portion has a second chord and a second skeleton line delimited by the leading edge and a downstream limit. A skeleton angle at a first length I1 of the first chord is defined by a function G1(l1), and the skeleton angle at a second length l2 of the second rope being chord is defined by a function G2(l2). The absolute value of the average increase A2 of G2?(l2) between the leading edge and the downstream limit is greater than the absolute value of the average increase Al of Gl?(l1) between the leading edge and a point P, wherein the first length I1 corresponds to the total length of the second chord.

  • Patent number: 11078801
    Abstract: A vane stage with a longitudinal axis designed to be fitted in a turbine engine compressor. The van stage has an annular row of mobile vanes arranged upstream from an annular row of stator vanes. The annular row of stator vanes has a radially internal annular platform bearing radial blades, an upstream annular portion of which is arranged upstream from the blades and is surrounded radially outwards by a downstream annular portion of an annular platform of the upstream row of mobile vanes. The upstream annular portion of the annular platform of the annular row of stator vanes has a radially external annular face from which fins extend, which are distributed around the longitudinal axis and extend radially outwards towards the downstream annular portion of the platform of the annular row of mobile vanes.

  • Patent number: 11047238
    Abstract: A vane configured to be placed with a plurality of identical vanes so as to form a vane wheel for an aeroengine, the vane wheel defining an axis, the vane having an airfoil presenting a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading-edge curve describing the shape of the leading edge of the airfoil in a view perpendicular to the airfoil presenting at least one leading-edge undulation, said at least one leading-edge undulation extending over less than 30% of a length of the airfoil from the first end of the airfoil.
