Compressor of Axial Turbine Engine with Contra-Rotating Rotor

An axial turbine engine, comprising:

• a fan;
• a compressor fitted with a rotor including at least two annular rows of rotor blades, of which two rows are counter-rotating;
• an epicyclic reducing gear connecting the fan to the compressor rotor and connecting the counter-rotating rows, the epicyclic reducing gear being arranged in order to reduce the fan rotation speed with respect to the compressor rotation speed;
• and
• an annular row of stator vanes arranged between two rows of rotor blades, the stator vanes being arranged so as to straighten axially the flow between the two rows of rotor blades.
