Abstract: A turboshaft engine in which the stator comprises an outer casing surrounding a ring formed by a number of ring elements each having an apertured rib which spaces the element from the casing, the ribs dividing the space between the casing and the ring into separate compartments, and each rib having a sealing element disposed alongside it to cover the apertures and seal one compartment from the next. The casing and the ring are fixed together by virtue of bolts which have their axes inclined to the radial direction so that tightening the bolts causes the casing to press radially on the sealing elements at the same time as pressing them axially against the respective ribs.

Abstract: A turbjet engine includes various elements for adjustment of play of the stator by having the stator heated or cooled by a gas. The outer housing to which the ferrule bearing the fixed vane stages is secured may be formed of two skins between which the gas is injected. The ferrule may be composed of sectors extending over one circumference fraction and fixed via their center and simply guided at their extremity; finally, it is possible to provide sealing devices between the outer housing and the support bearing surfaces of the ribs of the ferrule elements. The volume between the ferrule and the housing is then sectioned and is able to receive separate gas feedings for play adjustment.
