Abstract

A control ring for a stage of variable-pitch vanes for a turbine engine includes at least one member for bearing on a casing and means for fixing the member. The member includes a bushing with an axial bore for the passage of the member or an element for supporting the member. A through-slot opens into the bore and allows for substantial radial deformation of the bushing. The member further includes an outer thread for screwing the bushing into a complementary thread of a hole in the body, thereby deforming the bushing. The member or support can be mounted and moved inside the bore, to a second position, in which the bushing is radially constrained and is tightly mounted on the member or support, which is thus immobilized in relation to the bushing.

Abstract

The internal cooling of the moving blades of the turbines in aircraft turbomachines is limited in effectiveness because of inhomogeneities of this cooling on each of the pressure-face and suction-face walls. To address this problem, there is proposed a blade comprising a circuit (50) for cooling the airfoil part (34) thereof, in which circuit the cavities interconnected in series are such that the stream of air flows radially toward the outside along the pressure-face wall (40) in pressure-face cavities (52, 56), and radially toward the inside along the suction-face wall (42) in a suction-face cavity (54) that is separated from the pressure-face cavities by an internal wall (58) of the airfoil part. In this way, the force of the Coriolis effect deflects the stream of air toward each of the pressure-face and suction-face walls thereby limiting the inhomogeneity.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synchronising the engines of an airplane, according to an activation logic having a deactivated state, an armed state and an activated state, in which: the switching of the activation logic from the armed state to the activated state is carried out via a first and then a second successive intermediate state; every instance of the activation logic switching from the intermediate state to the activated state involves the following: taking into consideration, on each engine, the activation state of the synchronisation, and exchanging said data between the engines; the switching of the activation logic of one of the engines to the activated state requires that the safety and activation conditions of the other engines are all met; if one of the engines enters the deactivated state, the others do so as well; and, for each engine, the switching of the activation logic from the armed state to the first and then to the second intermediate state takes place automatically when a first portion and then a second portion of the safety and/or activation conditions are met.

Abstract

A fuel gear pump (4') works to supply a pre-defined flow rate, but with low or zero pressure rise. In order to ensure the hydrodynamic lifting of bearings (19) supporting the pinions (11), or some of them, a sealing lining (46) is added between them, in order to delimit a closed cavity (47), in order to ensure lifting by a fluid having more suitable viscosity properties, instead of the lifting being ensured by the fuel itself which is pumped. Possible application to fuel pumps of aircraft engines, in which the pump (4') is a high-pressure pump combined with a low-pressure pump.

Blade for a turbo machine impeller comprising a root, an air foil and a tip. The root and the tip comprise platforms having surfaces (15) on the side of the air foil, the surfaces respectively being referred to as the root and tip flow path. Each of these flow paths is made up of a pressure-face part and of a suction-face part which are situated respectively on the side of the pressure face and of the suction face and are separated by a crest curve (45, 65). Blade manufacture is made easier notably by virtue of the fact that any point on a first surface out of the pressure face and the suction face and any point on the root and tip flow path parts situated on the side of the first surface has a normal that makes an acute or right angle with respect to a direction referred to as the first direction of manufacture.
