Abstract
An aerodynamic arm for an aircraft turbine engine casing includes a tubular outer shell having a generally elongate shape extending substantially along an axis. The shell has axial ends configured to be connected to a turbine engine casing. An electrically conductive core extends inside the shell and has ends configured to electrically connect to the ends of the shell. An insulating material occupies a space between the core and the shell.
Claims20
A double flow aircraft turbine engine, comprising a casing having:
- two coaxial annular rows of blading constituting an inner blading located in a primary flow duct of the double flow aircraft turbine engine and an outer blading located in a secondary flow duct of the double flow aircraft turbine engine and
- at least ten aerodynamic arms, each aerodynamic arm being part of a flow rectifier blading that passes through one of the secondary flow duct and the primary flow duct, each aerodynamic arm comprising:
- an outer tubular shell having a generally elongated shape extending substantially along an axis (A-A), the outer tubular shell comprising axial ends configured to connect to a casing of the turbine engine;
- an electrically conductive core extending inside the outer tubular shell and having electrical connection ends at each of the ends of the outer tubular shell;
- and
- an insulating material configured to occupy a space provided between the electrically conductive core and the outer tubular shell, wherein for any cross-section of the aerodynamic arm in a plane perpendicular to the axis (A-A) of the outer tubular shell, a maximum thickness (Ep) of the aerodynamic arm is between 2 mm and 10 mm, and a chord length (L) of the aerodynamic arm is between 30 mm and 150 mm,
- wherein each aerodynamic arm is located in the secondary flow duct with the outer blading.
