  • Patent number: 10710731
    Abstract: In an aeroengine comprising a gas turbine engine driving a propeller via a reduction gearbox, the propeller comprising a plurality of blades, each provided with one or more electrical deicer elements and being set into rotation by a propeller-carrying shaft passing through the gearbox, the propeller-carrying shaft having a fastener flange for fastening to the propeller, provision is made, in order to deliver the electrical power needed for powering said electrical deicer elements, for the aeroengine to include a rotary three-phase transformer set into rotation by the propeller-carrying shaft and comprising firstly a rotor mounted inside the propeller-carrying shaft and angularly secured thereto, and secondly a stator secured to a stationary portion of the aeroengine, the rotary three-phase transformer being arranged behind the propeller fastener flange.
