Publication number: 20240110523Abstract: A turbojet includes in succession, from upstream to downstream in the flow direction of a primary air stream: a low-pressure casing, an intermediate casing, and a high-pressure casing that are longitudinally aligned and which jointly delimit an internal annular passage for the circulation of the air stream. The intermediate casing delimits a portion of the annular passage called a gooseneck and includes: an air discharge system able to extract air from the air stream circulating in a first zone of the gooseneck and to discharge it outside the passage, and an air extraction system able to extract air circulating in a second zone of the gooseneck for an air conditioning system, the second air extraction zone being located downstream of the first air extraction zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SAFRANInventors: Nicolas Claude PARMENTIER, William Henri Joseph RIERA

Publication number: 20230150688Abstract: A method determines the angular setting (?_2) of an annular row of stator vanes arranged downstream of a pusher propeller of a propulsion system with a longitudinal axis. The annular row of stator vanes receives an air flow having a velocity (V2) including a longitudinal component (Viz) and a tangential component (V_i?) associated with the velocity of gyration generated by the pusher propeller. The method includes the steps of establishing a theoretical model of the pusher propeller using a power (P1) and a mechanical speed (N1) associated with said pusher propeller, and flight conditions that include a velocity of the airflow incident on the pusher propeller, the altitude of said propulsion system and ambient temperature. The method further includes the step of determining an angular setting (?_1) of the pusher propeller from the theoretical model.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: SAFRANInventors: Panagiotis GIANNAKAKIS, William Henri Joseph RIERA
