Abstract
Description
[0001] This invention relates to a turbomachine of the unducted propeller type.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A turbomachine of this type comprises two contra-rotating and coaxial external propellers, respectively upstream and downstream, which are each secured in rotation to a turbine of the turbomachine and which extend substantially radially to the exterior of the nacelle of this turbomachine. This turbomachine has the advantage of being of high performance compared to other types of turbomachine because it consumes less fuel and because its contra-rotating propellers make it possible to provide a relative substantial thrust.
[0003] However, the major disadvantage with this type of turbomachine is the noise that it generates when operating. Yet, this turbomachine must comply with relatively severe acoustical certification standards, in particular during the take-off and landing phases of the aircraft provided with this turbomachine.
[0004] One of the sources of this noise is caused ...
