  • Publication number: 20180299132
    Abstract: A combustion chamber of a turbomachine includes an annular outer casing and a flame tube connected to the outer casing. The flame tube includes an annular inner wall and an annular outer wall defining a first, radial portion at the inlet of the flame tube and a second, axial portion at the outlet of the flame tube. The first portion extends towards the second portion forming an elbow between the inlet and the outlet of the flame tube.

  • Patent number: 7533533
    Abstract: The jet engine of the invention comprises an exhaust nozzle of variable section, comprising at least one flap pivot mounted about a pin, the pin being joined to the fixed structure of the jet engine via two braces each comprising a bore for housing the pin, the flap being pivot commanded by an actuating cylinder, connected to two fasteners which each comprise a bore through which the pin passes and about which they rotate. The jet engine is characterized by the fact that the pin, the bores of the braces and bores of the fasteners are arranged so that the contacts between the pin with the bore walls of the braces and with the bore walls of the fasteners are made over convex surfaces. Therefore, when in operation, in the event of pin bending the contact surfaces follow this convex shape and are suitably distributed.

  • Patent number: 7520135
    Abstract: A variable-section turbomachine nozzle comprises a plurality of moving flaps, and a moving flap control system comprising control levers each associated with a respective moving flap, the control levers comprising both controlled levers that are actuated directly by actuators, and follower levers that are actuated by the controlled levers via transmission links. When the nozzle is at rest, the flaps associated with the follower levers present a radial offset relative to the flaps associated with the controlled levers.

  • Publication number: 20070084215
    Abstract: A system of attaching an injection system to a turbojet combustion chamber base. It comprises a deflector welded onto the chamber base. The deflector comprises an annular portion having an edge forming a retaining shoulder directed toward the front of the turbojet and the injection system comprises a collar on which is formed a retaining shoulder directed toward the rear of the turbojet and pressing against the retaining shoulder of the deflector.

  • Publication number: 20070033950
    Abstract: Injection system of a turbojet engine. It comprises a fixed part and a sliding crossmember. The sliding crossmember comprises a flange capable of sliding on the sliding surface of the fixed part. The fixed part comprises antirotation means and the sliding crossmember of the complementary antirotation means to limit the rotation of the sliding crossmember relative to the fixed part. These means consist of at least one cutout formed in the flange and of at least one lug protruding into said at least one cutout of the flange of the sliding crossmember.
