Description

Description TITLE: AERONAUTICAL PROPELLER WITH RIGHTING Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to an aeronautical propulsion system for an aircraft, as well as an aircraft comprising such an aeronautical propulsion system. Technological background

[0002] An aeronautical propulsion system for an aircraft, of the type comprising: an external casing; a hub mounted to pivot relative to the outer casing around a principal axis extending in an upstream-downstream direction of the aircraft; a propulsion propeller mounted on the hub to rotate relative to the outer casing; and a rectifier mounted on the external casing downstream of the propulsion propeller along the main axis, the rectifier extending around the main axis, the rectifier comprising stator blades each having: a stator leading edge, a stator inner radius, a stator outer radius, a stator blade height equal to the difference between the stator outer radius and the stator inner radius, and a stator sweep angle at each point of the stator leading edge.

[0003] The propeller is designed to drive an airflow downstream.

[0004] The fixed stator is designed to straighten the airflow from the propeller, generating thrust to help propel the aircraft forward. More specifically, this thrust is generated by deflecting the airflow over the stator blades, creating different inlet and outlet angles. The stator thus maximizes propulsive efficiency.

[0005] It is known that the propeller has rotor blades with a trailing edge generally having a belly, while the leading edges of the stator blades also have a belly.

[0006] It is also known that the flow over each rotor blade can undergo separation, particularly at the leading edge belly of the rotor blade. This separation produces wakes that interact with the stator blades to generate wake interaction noise. This separation on the rotor blades can occur during flight phases with high thrust on the rotor blades and / or during flight phases with high angles of attack, such as takeoff. The resulting wakes are more energetic (increased turbulent kinetic energy and / or mean airspeed deficit) at the trailing edge belly and on the upper surface (between the belly and the rotor blade tip) of the rotor blades. The leading edge belly of the stator blades is generally located at a radius close to the radius of the trailing edge belly of the rotor blades.Thus, the wakes reach the stator blades at their belly, where the sweep angle is not very important and wake interaction noise can be dominant.

[0007] Therefore, to overcome this problem, in some known rectifiers, the sweep angle is constant along the entire height of the stator blade, meaning that the leading edge is straight. Thus, such a stator blade has no leading edge bulge.

[0008] Furthermore, a vortex forms at the tip of each rotor blade of the propulsion propeller, and these vortices interact with the stator blades, generating vortex interaction noise. To reduce this vortex interaction noise, it is known to truncate the stator blades so that the vortices pass, at least partially, over the truncated stator blades.

[0009] The invention aims to provide an aeronautical propulsion system that reduces both wake interaction noise and vortex interaction noise.

[0010] The prior art includes in particular the patent documents EP 3290643 B1, WO 2019 / 043330 A1, US 2005 / 008494 A1, US 2015 / 260051 A1, WO 2023 / 247907 A1 and WO 2023 / 007098 A1. Summary of 'invention'

[0011] An aeronautical propulsion system is therefore proposed for an aircraft of the aforementioned type, characterized in that, for at least one stator blade, the stator sweep angle is positive and increasing over the entire height of the stator blade, strictly increasing over at least part of the height of the stator blade and greater than 30° over at least 40% of the height of the stator blade.

[0012] Thanks to the invention, the absence of a leading edge slack reduces wake interaction noise. This is achieved through the phase shift introduced by increasing the sweep angle along the stator blade span or height. Having a positive sweep angle along the entire stator blade height means there is no slack, resulting in a low stator sweep area. This is acoustically beneficial because the noise radiates in phase at the slack, increasing the emitted noise levels. Furthermore, the increasing stator sweep angle allows the stator blade to be progressively tilted downstream, so the vortex from the rotor blade passes more easily over it with less stator blade truncation, thus reducing vortex interaction noise and increasing aerodynamic efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, having a larger stator sweep angle near the stator blade tip helps to limit vortex interaction noise in case of impact during high angle-of-attack flight phases.

[0014] Furthermore, when the stator blades have variable pitch around a pitch axis, increasing the sweep angle allows a larger portion of the stator blade to be located upstream of the pitch axis. This counterbalances the portion of the stator blade downstream of the pitch axis. This prevents the stator blade's center of gravity from being too far from the pitch axis and avoids the moment of the forces (generated by the flow around the blade during operation) on the stator blade around the pitch change axis becoming too high, thus facilitating the adjustment of the pitch angle.

[0015] The invention may further include one or more of the following optional features, in any technically feasible combination.

[0016] Optionally, 1.15 < yy, preferably 2.7 < y™™, with S_top and S_bottom correspond to the mathematical area under a stator string as a function of a radius relative to the principal axis, above and below a radius where the stator string is maximum, respectively.

[0027] Optionally, the stator blade being variable pitch, an airflow driven by the propeller exerts, over the whole of a flight domain of an aircraft equipped with the aeronautical propulsion system, a moment resulting from pressure and friction forces, around a stator pitch axis of less than 500N*m, in particular less than 400N*m.

Detailed description of the invention

[0037] In the description that follows, when a characteristic applies to at least one element, it can also apply to all such elements. Similarly, when a characteristic applies to at least one value within a range, it can also apply to all values ​​within that range.

[0038] AERONAUTICAL PROPELLER

[0039] With reference to Figure 1, an aeronautical propulsion unit 100 in which the invention is implemented will now be described.

[0040] The 100 aeronautical thruster is designed to contribute to the propulsion of an aircraft. For example, it is intended to be supported by a pylon fixed to a wing or fuselage of the aircraft.

[0041] The aircraft propulsion unit 100, for example, is unducted (from the English "Unducted Single Fan," also designated by the acronym USF), as in the illustrated example. However, the invention also applies to a ducted aircraft propulsion unit, such as a twin-flow turbofan, in which case the propeller is known as a fan.

[0042] The aeronautical propulsion unit 100 includes first of all an external casing 102 and a hub 104 mounted pivoting relative to the external casing 102 around a main axis X, oriented from upstream to downstream.

[0043] Subsequently, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" will be used to specify the relative position of the elements of the aeronautical propulsion system 100 along the main axis X in a flow direction of an airflow PHI when the aircraft is propelled by the aeronautical propulsion system 100.

[0044] The hub 104 is thus, for example, located upstream of the external casing 102.

[0045] The aeronautical propulsion unit 100 further comprises a motor 105 for driving the hub 104. The motor 105 extends for example into the external casing 102. The motor 105 comprises for example at least one heat engine, in particular a turbomachine, a turbomotor, a turbojet or a turbofan, and / or at least one electric motor, and / or at least one hydrogen engine.

[0046] HELIX

[0047] The aeronautical propulsion unit 100 further includes a propeller 106, for example unfaired, which is propulsive and mounted on the hub 104 so as to be pivotable relative to the external casing 102 around the main axis X. The propeller 106 is therefore driven in rotation around the main axis X by the motor 105 via the hub 104.

[0048] Propeller 106, for example, is located upstream of engine 105. If propeller 106 is unshod, such an arrangement is known as a "tractor" (from the English "puller"). Alternatively, engine 105 could be in a "pusher" (from the English "pusher") arrangement.

[0049] During its rotation, the propeller 106 is designed to drive the airflow PHI downstream to propel the aircraft in flight. To achieve this, the propeller 106 has rotor blades 108 (for example, between 10 and 16, preferably between 12 and 14) arranged, for example, in a single annular row around the main axis X. The rotor blades 108 can, for example, all be identical and spaced angularly at regular intervals around the main axis X.

[0050] At least one rotor blade 108, for example, has variable pitch around a respective pitch axis Y by means of a pitch change mechanism (PCM). The pitch of each rotor blade 108 is defined by a rotor pitch angle CAL around the rotor pitch axis Y. In a preferred embodiment, all rotor blades 108 have variable pitch. This allows the pitch of the rotor blades 108, and therefore the local incidence of the flow, to be adapted according to the flight phase.

[0051] Subsequently, the dimensions given for the rotor blades 108 will be valid for at least one pitch angle, preferably for all pitch angles within an interval of at least 10°.

[0052] Each rotor blade 108 has an external radius Re equal by definition to the distance between the principal axis X and the point of the rotor blade 108 furthest from the principal axis X. Each rotor blade 108 also has an internal radius Ri equal by definition to the distance between the principal axis X and the point of the rotor blade 108 closest to the principal axis X.

[0053] The 106 propeller thus has a diameter D equal to twice the external radius Re. This diameter D is also called the "motor diameter". The diameter D of the 106 propeller is, for example, between 1 m and 6 m, preferably between 3 m and 5 m.

[0054] RECTIFIER

[0055] The aeronautical propulsion unit 100 also includes a rectifier 112 (in English, "Outlet Guide Vane" or OGV), for example unshrouded, and mounted on the external casing 102 downstream of the propeller 106.

[0056] The rectifier 112 forms a stator fixed to the external housing 102 and extending around the main axis X, but not able to rotate around the latter. The rectifier 112 comprises stator blades 114 (for example, between 8 and 16, preferably between 10 and 14) arranged, for example, in a single annular row around the main axis X. Preferably, the number of stator blades 114 is different from the number of rotor blades 108, in order to reduce the noise of the aircraft propulsion 100. In particular, the number of rotor blades 108 is greater, for example, by at least two, than the number of stator blades 114. Indeed, if the number of rotor blades 108 and the number of stator blades 114 were equal, the wakes of the rotor blades 108 would impact simultaneously with the stator blades 114, which would increase the noise levels.The stator blades 114 may, for example, all be identical or different and spaced angularly regularly or heterogeneously around the main axis X, so that at least two stator blades 114 have a different angular spacing around the main axis X.

[0057] For example, at least one stator blade 114 has variable pitch about a respective stator pitch axis Y', by means of a pitch change mechanism (PCM). The pitch of each stator blade 114 is defined by a stator pitch angle CAL' about the stator pitch axis Y'.

[0058] For example, the stator alignment axis Y' is inclined relative to a plane perpendicular to the main axis X by an angle α between -10° and 30° preferably between 5° and 20° (angle G is positive when tilted downstream - as illustrated, and negative when tilted upstream).

[0059] An inclination of the stator alignment axis Y' allows to reduce radial moments around the stator alignment axis Y', so that the alignment changing device can have a reduced mass and size.

[0060] In addition, as the stator blade 114 has a main axis of torsional rigidity, the inclination of the stator alignment axis Y' allows the mass of the stator blade 114 to be distributed around this axis, in order to keep a lever in the positioning of the natural modes of the blade to reduce vibration and aero-mechanical risks.

[0061] Furthermore, when the inclination of the stator alignment axis Y' is downstream, the amount of energy transmitted in the event of bird ingestion is distributed between the stator alignment axis Y' and a plane perpendicular to the stator alignment axis Y'.

[0062] In addition, the inclination of the stator pitch axis Y' can be very useful in the case where the propulsion system 100 is unfaired and where the stator blades 114 are strongly inclined downstream and have variable pitch.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, all the stator blades 114 have variable pitch. This allows the pitch of the stator blades 114, and therefore the local incidence of the flow, to be adapted according to the flight phase.

[0064] The yaw axes Y, Y' are separated along the main axis X by a minimum distance dns. The stator yaw axis Y' can be inclined at an angle of inclination α' with respect to the radial direction. This can be useful for simplifying the integration of the stator blade 114 under the outer casing 102 or for reducing the aerodynamic moments around said stator yaw axis Y'. When the angle of inclination α' is 0°, the distance dns corresponds to the separation between the yaw axes Y, Y' along the main axis X measured at the root sections of the rotor blade 108 and the stator blade 114, as illustrated in Figure 1.

[0065] Subsequently, the dimensions given for the stator blades 114 will be valid for at least one pitch angle, preferably for all pitch angles within an interval of at least 10°.

[0066] Each stator blade 114 of the rectifier 112 has an external stator radius Re' equal by definition to the distance between the principal axis X and the point of the stator blade 114 furthest from the principal axis X. Each stator blade 114 also has an internal stator radius Ri' equal by definition to the distance between the principal axis X and the point of the stator blade 114 closest to the principal axis X.

[0067] Note that the external radius Re' of two adjacent stator blades can be different depending on their azimuthal position (azimutally variable truncation or clipping to reduce interaction noise with the propeller blade tip vortex during the incidence phases).

[0068] The external casing 102 further includes a nozzle 116 for separating the primary and secondary flows, as well as a portion called a nozzle 118 between the nozzle 116 and the stator blades 114.

[0069] Rotor Blade

[0070] Subsequently, any one of the rotor blades 108 will be described in more detail, all the others being similar, for example.

[0071] With reference to Figure 2, the rotor blade 108 has first of all a rotor leading edge BA where the airflow PHI arrives and a rotor trailing edge BF from which the airflow PHI departs.

[0072] The rotor trailing edge BF, for example, features serrations, that is, a succession of undulations or teeth (a succession of peaks and troughs). The serrations improve the mixing of the propeller 106's wake before it interacts with the stator 112, in order to reduce wake interaction noise.

[0073] The rotor leading edge BA extends from a root BA__P to a tip BA T. The rotor leading edge BA also has a belly BA__V, which is the point of the rotor leading edge BA furthest upstream along the principal axis X, i.e., located at a greater height than the root BA__P. Thus, with this definition, a rotor blade whose furthest upstream point is located at the root BA P would not have a belly. Similarly, the rotor trailing edge BF extends from a root BF__P to a tip BF T.

[0074] The rotor blade 108 can also be truncated, as in the illustrated example, i.e. there is a truncated section 202 for example straight, connecting the heads BA T, BF T. Alternatively, the rotor blade 108 could be non-truncated, in which case the heads BA T and BF T would be coincident.

[0075] Thus, each rotor blade 108 has an external radius Re...BA at the rotor leading edge BA, which is the distance between the main axis X and the tip BA__T of the rotor leading edge BA, and an external radius Re__BF at the rotor trailing edge BF, which is the distance between the main axis X and the tip BF__T of the rotor trailing edge BF. The external rotor radius Re of the propeller 106 is therefore equal to the larger of the external radii Re__BA, Re__BF.

[0076] Furthermore, each rotor blade 108 has an internal radius Ri__BA at the rotor leading edge BA, which is the distance between the main axis X and the root BA__P of the leading edge BA, and an internal radius Ri__BF at the rotor trailing edge BF, which is the distance between the main axis X and the root BFP of the rotor trailing edge BF. The internal rotor radius Ri of the propeller 106 is therefore equal to the smaller of the internal radii Ri_BA and Ri__BF.

[0077] In general, it is possible to define a radius r between the principal axis X and any point outside the principal axis X. In the following description, the radius r will designate, depending on the context, a radial direction (that is, perpendicular to the principal axis X and passing through the principal axis X) passing through this point and / or a distance along this direction between the principal axis X and this point.

[0078] ROTARY RAY

[0079] Referring to Figure 3, it is possible to position oneself on the rotor leading edge BA from a radius r extending from the principal axis X to each point on the rotor leading edge BA. For the rotor leading edge BA, the radius r thus varies from the inner radius RiJ3A of the rotor leading edge BA to the outer radius Re BA of the rotor leading edge BA. In particular, the antinode BA__V of the rotor leading edge BA is located at a radius r denoted r(BA V).

[0080] Referring to Figure 4, it is similarly possible to position oneself on the rotor trailing edge BF using the radius r extending from the principal axis X to each point of the rotor trailing edge BF. For the rotor trailing edge BF, the radius r thus varies from the internal radius Ri__BF of the rotor trailing edge BF to the external radius Re__BF of the rotor trailing edge BF.

[0081] Thus, to locate the rotor blade 108 in its entirety, it is possible to consider the radius r varying from the internal rotor radius Ri to the external rotor radius Re. The rotor blade 108 therefore has a rotor blade height H (also called rotor span) equal to Re - Ri.

[0082] Figure 5 is a section (also called an aerodynamic profile) at a radius r of the rotor blade 108. This section is taken along a plane P(r) perpendicular to the radius r passing through a point on the rotor leading edge BA.

[0083] As can be seen, the rotor blade 108 has an intrados face 502 and an extrados face 504, respectively concave and convex, connected to each other, upstream, by the rotor leading edge BA and, downstream, by the rotor trailing edge BF.

[0084] ROTARY ROPE

[0085] When both the rotor leading edge BA and the rotor trailing edge BF are present in the section under consideration, the rotor leading edge BA and the rotor trailing edge BF can be connected by a rotor chord line 506 whose orientation changes according to the radius r. The rotor leading edge BA and the rotor trailing edge BF are then separated, along the rotor chord line 506, by a distance, called the rotor chord C, which can change according to the radius r.

[0086] ROTARY ARROW ANGLE

[0087] With reference to Figure 6, it is also possible to define a rotor sweep angle F for the rotor blade 108, varying according to the radius r. By definition, the rotor sweep angle F is the angle between the radius r and the projection, in the plane of the radius r and the principal axis X (plane of the sheet for Figure 6), of the line 402 connecting point 404 of the rotor leading edge BA at the considered radius r and point 406 of the rotor leading edge BA at the radius r plus 1%, i.e. 1.01 r,

[0088] ROTARY THICKNESS

[0089] Each rotor blade 108 has a rotor thickness that varies according to the radius r. Preferably, this rotor thickness is maximum at a radius r less than: Ri + 0.2*H, preferably Ri + 0.1*H. This ensures the mechanical strength of the rotor blades 108.

[0090] STATOR PALE

[0091] Subsequently, any one of the stator blades 114 will be described in more detail. Generally speaking, the stator blades 114 can differ from one another. For example, they may have different truncations.

[0092] With reference to figure 7, the stator blade 114 has first of all a stator leading edge BA' where the airflow PHI arrives from the propeller 106 and a stator trailing edge BF' from which the airflow PHI departs.

[0093] The stator leading edge BA' extends from a foot BA'_P to a head BA' T. Similarly, the stator trailing edge BF' extends from a foot BF' P to a head BF' J. The stator trailing edge BF' also has a most upstream point along the principal axis X, which can be the foot BF'__P of the stator trailing edge BF' as in the illustrated example or a slant BF'_V located higher than the foot BF'__P.

[0094] The stator blade 114 can also be truncated, as in the illustrated example, i.e. there is a truncated section 702 for example straight, connecting the heads BA'_T, BF'_T. Alternatively, the stator blade 114 could be non-truncated, in which case the heads BA'_T, BF'_T would coincide.

[0095] Thus, each stator blade 114 has an external radius Re'_BA at the stator leading edge BA', which is the distance between the main axis X and the tip BA'_T of the stator leading edge BA', as well as an external radius Re'... BF at the stator trailing edge BF', which is the distance between the main axis X and the tip BF'_T of the stator trailing edge BF'. The external stator radius Re' of the rectifier 112 therefore extends between the main axis X and the furthest of the tips BA'_T, BF'_T. Note that the external radii Re', Re'_BA, Re'_BF of two adjacent stator blades can be different depending on their azimuthal position (azimutally variable truncation or clipping) to reduce interaction noise with the propeller tip vortex during the attack phases.

[0096] Furthermore, the stator blade 114 has an internal radius Ri'_BA at the stator leading edge BA', which is the distance between the principal axis X and the root BA'_P of the stator leading edge BA', and an internal radius Ri'_BF at the stator trailing edge BF', which is the distance between the principal axis X and the root BF'_P of the stator trailing edge BF'. The internal stator radius Ri' of the stator blade 114 is therefore equal to the smaller of the internal radii Ri'_BA and Ri'_BF.

[0097] Thus, preferably, the rectifier 112 is unfaired and the section truncated 702 of a stator blade 114 is such that: > 0.05

[0098] In this way, the stator outer radius Re' is less than the rotor outer radius Re, so that the vortices of the propeller 106 can more easily pass, at least in part, over the rectifier 112.

[0099] STATORIC RADIUS

[0100] Referring to Figure 8, it is possible to position oneself on the stator leading edge BA' using the radius r extending from the principal axis X to each point on the stator leading edge BA'. For the stator leading edge BA', the radius r thus varies from the internal radius Ri'__BA of the stator leading edge BA' to the external radius Re'BA of the stator leading edge BA'.

[0101] Referring to Figure 9, it is similarly possible to position oneself on the stator trailing edge BF' using the radius r extending from the principal axis X to each point of the stator trailing edge BF'. For the stator trailing edge BF', the radius r thus varies from the internal radius Ri'_BF of the stator trailing edge BF' to the external radius Re'_BF of the stator trailing edge BF'.

[0102] Thus, to locate the stator blade 114 in its entirety, it is possible to consider the radius r varying from the internal stator radius Ri' to the external stator radius Re'. The stator blade 114 therefore has a stator blade height H' (also called stator span) equal to Re' - Ri'.

[0103] Figure 10 is a section (also called an aerodynamic profile) at a radius r of the stator blade 114. This section is taken along a plane P(r) perpendicular to the radius r extending from the principal axis X to a point on the leading edge BA'.

[0104] As can be seen, the stator blade 114 has an intrados face 1002 and an extrados face 1004, respectively concave and convex, connected to each other, upstream, by the stator leading edge BA' and, downstream, by the stator trailing edge BF'.

[0105] STATOR STRING

[0106] When the stator leading edge BA' and the stator trailing edge BF' are both present in the section considered, the stator leading edge BA' and the stator trailing edge BF' can be connected by a stator chord line 1006 whose orientation changes according to the radius r. The stator leading edge BA' and the stator trailing edge BF' are then separated, on the stator chord line 1006, by a distance, called the stator chord C', which can change according to the radius r.

[0107] STATORIC SPIKE ANGLE

[0108] With reference to Figure 11, it is also possible to define a stator deflection angle F' for the stator blade 114, varying according to the radius r. By definition, the stator deflection angle F' is the angle between the radius r and the projection, in the plane of the radius r and the principal axis X (plane of the sheet for Figure 11), of the line 1102 connecting the point 1004 of the stator leading edge BA' at the considered radius r and the point 1106 of the stator leading edge BA' at the radius r plus 1%, i.e. 1.01r.

[0109] STATIC THICKNESS

[0110] Each stator blade 114 has a stator thickness that varies according to the radius r. Preferably, this stator thickness is maximum at a radius less than: Ri' + 0.2*H', preferably Ri' + 0.1*H'. This ensures the mechanical strength of the stator blades 114.

[0111] DIMENSIONS

[0112] Various dimensioning characteristics of the propeller 106 and the rectifier 112 will now be described.

[0113] With reference to Figure 12, for at least one stator blade 114, the stator deflection angle F' is positive and increases monotonically over the entire stator blade height H', increases strictly monotonically over at least a part of the stator blade height H' and greater than 30° over at least 40% of the stator blade height H',

[0114] Thus, the deflection angle F' can be low at the base of the stator blade, and high at the tip of the stator blade.

[0115] This offers several advantages, as mentioned in the introduction. First, during flight phases at an angle of attack, the airflow tends to separate at the stator leading edge BA' when the sweep angle is significant. Thus, thanks to the invention, separation would only occur locally at the tip of the stator blade 114, which can improve aerodynamic performance compared to the constant-sweep stator blade (straight stator leading edge) mentioned above, for which separation would occur at a smaller radius and affect a larger portion of the stator leading edge.

[0116] According to another possible characteristic, the stator leading edge B has a midpoint BAJM located at half the height of the stator blade H'. Thus, there exists a straight line passing through the foot BAJP and the midpoint BA'M that forms an angle 5a with a plane perpendicular to the principal axis X. Furthermore, there exists a straight line passing through the midpoint BAJM and the head BA'T that forms an angle 5b with a plane perpendicular to the principal axis X. Under these conditions, angle 5b is preferably greater than angle 5a.

[0117] According to another possible characteristic, the stator leading edge BA' has a lower intermediate point BA'JB located at one-third of the stator blade height H' and a higher intermediate point BA'JH located at two-thirds of the stator blade height H'. Thus, there exists a straight line passing through the base BAJP and the lower intermediate point BA'JB forming an angle 5c with a plane perpendicular to the principal axis X. There also exists a straight line passing through the lower intermediate point BA'JB and the upper intermediate point BA'JH forming an angle 5d with a plane perpendicular to the principal axis X. Furthermore, there exists a straight line passing through the upper intermediate point BA'JH and the tip BA'T forming an angle 5e with a plane perpendicular to the principal axis X. Under these conditions, the angle 5e is preferably greater than the angle 5d, which itself is preferably greater than the angle 5c.

[0118] Referring to Figure 13, as explained previously, the stator string C' varies with the radius r. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the mathematical area under the curve of the stator string C' as a function of the radius r, above and below the maximum of C', called C'max, which is reached at radius r(Cmax): ∫maxC (top) ≈ Imax / C(r)dr and ∫maxC (bottom) ≈ Imax (r)dr

[0119] With the absence of a slack at the stator leading edge B, that is, with the foot BA'__P of the stator leading edge BA as the upstream point of the stator leading edge BA' as proposed above, the upper area S_area will be larger than the lower area S_area. Thus, according to another possible characteristic, 1.15 < y-”™, preferably even 2.7 < ~y. According to another possible characteristic, SJiaut,., £ , SJiaut. ~ - 6, do pretersigns sncoro - 'C S_bas ' S_bas

[0120] The advantage of this feature is that it allows for a greater chord length on the lower part of the stator 114, but not necessarily on the root section (because a large chord length on the root section can increase aerodynamic losses due to interaction with the boundary layer on the hub and the increased percentage of overhanging chord length at the root of the stator blade 114). Indeed, to reduce propeller noise 106, it is preferable to unload the propeller head (i.e., reduce the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces) so that the maximum aerodynamic load is placed at lower radii. This implies that the stator 112 has a larger chord length on its lower part to better compensate for gyration in the flow and maximize aerodynamic efficiency, but not on the root section.

[0121] According to another possible characteristic, the maximum stator chord C' is located between 10% and 35% of the stator blade height H'. This allows for a stator sweep angle F' which increases monotonically or strictly monotonically from the radial position corresponding to the maximum stator chord C' and for a large stator sweep angle F' near the stator blade tip at the leading edge BA'_T.

[0122] According to another possible characteristic, the belly BF'__V of the stator trailing edge BF' is located below 50% of the stator blade height H' (extending as explained previously from the stator blade foot section 114), preferably below 40% of the stator blade height H'.

[0123] This allows the BF'_V belly to be positioned at a blade height relatively close to a transition zone between a small sweep angle under the lower portion of the blade and a larger sweep angle over the upper portion. This can be useful in some cases to increase the chord on the lower part and improve mechanical strength.

[0124] According to another possible characteristic, the maximum stator chord C' is located at the height of the antinode BF'__V, within 5% of the stator blade height H'. Having a significant chord at the antinode BF can be beneficial for improving mechanical strength, as the antinode BF is an area of ​​high stress concentration.

[0125] According to another possible characteristic, with reference to figure 14, the stator string C' evolves with the radius r according to three intervals, which may or may not be adjacent, of the radius r:

[0126] interval Z1 (from 0% to at least 15% of the stator blade height H'): the string C' increases in a strictly monotonic way with the radius r;

[0127] interval Z2 (from 40% up to at least 60% and at most 85% of the blade height H'): the stator string C' decreases in a strictly monotonic manner with the radius r; and

[0128] interval Z3 (from 85% to 100% of the stator blade height H'): the stator string C' decreases monotonically with the radius r, with an average decay rate at least twice as high between 85% and 95%, * xnoz •* C ' (0.85*H' )-C' (0.95*H' ) „ (û,4»H )-C' fo,6*H' ) that between 40% and 60%, i.e.: — - - 2 > 2 * — 2 - - ce C' +0.85*H'' YC' (r-Ri + 0.95*H' ] which can also be written: — ■■ - """"r"" - ■■■ > 2 * cj (r-Rl + 0.4*H jC 7 (r-Ri' + 0.6*H 7 ] 0.2 *H'

[0129] This evolution of the stator string C' allows the sag F' to be increased locally near the head of the stator blade 114, which is interesting for minimizing vortex interaction noise.

[0130] According to another possible characteristic, the stator string C' is included, for any radius r, between 5% and 45% of the stator blade height H': 0.05 < < 0.45. This allows for stator string evolutions C' along the stator blade height H' compatible with a high stator deflection angle F' over a large part of the stator blade height H'.

[0131] According to another possible characteristic, the stator sweep angle F' is constant over a height between 10% and 50% of the stator blade height H', this height preferably being located above 50% of the stator blade height H'. This simplifies the manufacturing process and avoids a large offset of the tip cuts downstream, which could increase interaction noise with the vortex generated at the rotor blade tip 108. Indeed, the envelope of the (helical) trajectory of the propeller tip vortex contracts as it moves away from the propeller plane, due to the contraction of the stream tube. In other words, as it moves away from the propeller plane, the vortex shifts to lower radial positions.

[0132] According to another possible characteristic, the stator leading edge BA' and / or the stator trailing edge BF' extend only downstream. In other words, the points of the stator leading edge BA' and / or the stator trailing edge BF' have a position along the principal X axis that increases strictly with height. Thus, the stator blade 114 has no bulge on the leading edge BA' and / or the trailing edge BF', which improves mechanical strength and simplifies the manufacturing process of the stator blade 114. From an acoustic point of view, it is also beneficial not to have a bulge on the leading edge BA' and the trailing edge BF' because a bulge is characterized by a zone of zero sweep angle, in which the noise sources will all be correlated, i.e., in phase, which is likely to increase the noise.

[0133] Referring to Figure 15, according to one possible characteristic, Axmid > Axpied, preferably Axmid > 1.1*Axpied, where Axpied is the axial distance (along the principal axis X) between the leading edge BA' and the trailing edge BF' at 5% of the stator blade height H', and Axmid is the axial distance between the trailing edge BF' measured at 5% of the stator blade height H' and the leading edge BA at 95% of the stator blade height H'. This ensures a large Axmid distance, which allows for a steep downstream inclination of the stator blade 114, while controlling (or minimizing) the chord C' near the toe cut. As discussed previously, a steep inclination of the stator blade 114 indicates a steep sweep which is favorable for noise reduction, and a relatively small foot chord (or at least a foot chord that does not correspond to the maximum chord) is beneficial from an aerodynamic point of view.

[0134] According to one possible characteristic, Axhead < Axmid, preferably Axhead < 0.8*Axmid, where Axhead is the axial distance between the leading edge BA' at 95% of the stator blade height H' and the trailing edge BF' at 100% of the stator blade height H'. This ensures that the stator head section is not set too far back. If it is, the stator blade head 114 could be impacted by the tip vortex of a rotor blade 108 originating from the propeller, which could increase vortex interaction noise. As a reminder, the envelope of the (helical) trajectory of the propeller tip vortex contracts as it moves away from the propeller plane, due to the contraction of the stream tube. In other words, when it moves away from the plane of the propeller, the vortex moves towards weaker radial positions.

[0135] According to another possible characteristic, at any radius r above the radius where the BA__V belly of the leading edge BA of the rotor blade 108 is located (r > r(BA__V)), the stator sweep angle F' is greater than or equal to the rotor sweep angle F. During high-attack, high-thrust flight phases, such as takeoff, the flow around the propeller tends to separate above the BA belly, which can increase noise. Having an even greater sweep angle on the BA trail of the OGV is therefore beneficial for reducing wake interaction noise.

[0136] According to another possible characteristic, the serrations of the rotor trailing edge BF begin at a radius smaller than the radius r(BA_V) of the belly BA_V of the rotor leading edge BA. Below the radial position of the belly BA_V of the rotor blades 108, the sweep angle F' of the stator blades 114 is smaller, and the serrations of the rotor trailing edge BF can effectively contribute to wake mixing, phase shifting, and wake interaction noise reduction.

[0137] According to another possible feature, the serrations on the rotor trailing edge BF are located opposite a zone in the radial direction with a low stator sweep angle F', where F' is less than 30°, preferably less than 25°. This helps to mix the wake and thus reduce interaction noise in a zone with a low stator sweep angle F', i.e., a zone where interaction noise is significant. Furthermore, this limits the radial extension of the serrations on the rotor trailing edge BF, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves the mechanical strength of the rotor blade 108.

[0138] According to another possible characteristic, the serrations of the rotor trailing edge BF extend over a height less than 60% of the stator blade height H'. This is useful for noise reduction while limiting the radial extension of the serrations on the rotor trailing edge BF, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves the mechanical strength of the rotor blade 108.

[0139] Referring to Figure 16, for each cross-section of the stator blade 114, it is possible to define a skeleton 1902 as the mid-curve of the intrados 1002 and the extrados 1004. The skeleton 1902 can, for example, be obtained, as illustrated in Figure 16, as the set of centers of circles inscribed in the cross-section, i.e., flush with both the intrados 1002 and the extrados 1004. At the stator leading edge BA', the skeleton 1902 makes an angle p with the principal axis X (i.e., the angle p is the angle, in the plane P(r), between the principal axis X and a tangent to the skeleton 1902 at the stator leading edge BA') which varies according to the radius r, in order to adapt the profiles to the over-angles / under-angles related to the positive / negative sweep effects, respectively. For example, increasing the sweep angle F' at the stator leading edge BA' increases the local impact on the aerodynamic profiles of the stator blade 114.This over-incidence must therefore be compensated by an increase in the absolute value of the angle p, which realigns the skeleton with the incident flow and avoids separations that can have a negative impact on aerodynamic performance and noise.

[0140] According to another possible characteristic, the absolute value of the angle p is increasing (e.g. strictly increasing) with the radius r. Indeed, when the sweep angle F' increases, it is useful to increase the absolute value of the angle p of the stator leading edge BA' (closing) to reduce the incidence locally and avoid separations, which could deteriorate aerodynamic performance and increase some of the self-noise and / or noise.

[0141] According to another possible characteristic, the absolute value of the angle p varies, over the entire height of the stator blade H', between 12° and 30° at most.

[0142] Figure 17 illustrates three examples of variation of angle p.

[0143] According to another possible characteristic, the stator deflection angle F' is greater than 20° over at least 60% of the stator blade height H' and / or greater than 30° over at least 40% of the stator blade height H' and greater than 40° over at least 10% of the stator blade height H'. Thus, the stator deflection angle F' is very high over a very large portion of the stator blade height H'.

[0144] According to another possible characteristic, when the stator blade 114 has variable pitch, the flow PHI exerts, across the entire flight envelope, a moment resulting from pressure and friction forces around the pitch axis Y' of less than 500 N*m, and in particular less than 400 N*m. This ensures the proper functioning of the hydraulic system and the actuators responsible for adapting the pitch of the stator blade 114 according to the operating point in order to maximize aerodynamic performance (preventing liftoff) and reduce noise. If the moments are too high, the system would not be able to rotate the stator blade 114 to adapt the pitch, or the system would be too heavy and therefore impractical on an aircraft engine.

[0145] According to another possible characteristic, the stator sweep angle F' is at least 45° at at least one point on the stator leading edge BA' above a midpoint BA'__M located at half the height of the stator blade H'. This helps to reduce the interaction noise of the vortex at the tip of the rotor blade 108 with the head of the stator blade 114.

[0146] With reference to figure 18, there exists, at each radius r, a spacing L(r) between the rotor trailing edge BF and the stator leading edge BA', exhibiting a maximum max{L(r)} and a minimum min{L(r)}.

[0147] According to another possible characteristic, the spacing L(r) increases in a strictly monotonic way with the radius r and 1.5 < max{L(r)} / min{L(r)} < 4, preferably 2.1 < max{L(r)} / min{L(r)} < 3. Increasing the distances between the propeller 108 and the rectifier 112 allows for better dissipation of the wake of the propeller 108 and therefore reduces interaction noise.

[0148] According to another possible characteristic, for any radius r above the radius of the rotor leading edge BA_V (r > r(BA_V)), the stator sweep angle F' is greater than or equal to the rotor sweep angle F. During high-attack, high-thrust flight phases, such as takeoff, the flow around the propeller 108 tends to separate above the rotor leading edge BA_V, which can increase noise. Having an even greater stator sweep angle on the stator leading edge BA' is therefore beneficial for reducing interaction noise.

[0149] According to another possible characteristic, the stator leading edge BA' has a tangential displacement yBA' in the azimuthal direction having a local maximum yBA'ext on the extrados side reached at a radius rext (see figure 19) to maximize noise reduction.

[0150] According to another possible characteristic, the relative height of the local maximum or minimum extremum of yBA', defined as hextremum yBA'= will preferably be between 5% and 50%. r BA , _T~ r BA f _P

[0151] According to another possible characteristic, the relative amplitude of the law of yBA' ygyi, and defined as — ™ — will be between 0% and 10%, preferably between 1% and 5%.

[0152] According to another possible characteristic, the rotor trailing edge serrations BF are only located above 10% of the rotor blade height H and below 60% of the rotor blade height H. This allows for better dissipation of propeller wakes before they interact with the OGV area having a low sweep angle (which is related to dominant noise sources).
