Safran is an international high-technology group, operating in the aviation (propulsion, equipment and interiors), defense and space markets. Our core purpose is to contribute to a safer, more sustainable world, where air transport is more environmentally friendly, comfortable and accessible. Thanks to our skilled workforce operating on all continents, we are fully dedicated to create and develop tomorrow’s most innovative technological and industrial solutions.
Propfan tech is the basis for CFM's next generation RISE series engines, the successor to the LEAP series. While propfan demonstrators have been around for decades, technical issues have kept them from being practical. One of the main issues is how the propellers act in relation to the speed of sound. Our understanding of those physics is evident in commercial jets utilizing turbofans almost exclusively. With advances in computing power, we are able to model more complex propfan designs that overcome those limitations.
It is not a turbine blade, but a stator vane to redirect the exhaust flow into a more optimal angle to strike the next set of blades. They are whirling by at a very rapid pace. 100 to 500 times per second. Each redirect gains efficiency. All the little holes and passages allow cooling air to blast the heat away and cool the exhaust, preserving the turbine blades, while expanding even more air which is the source of thrust. During the early '80's we had a situation and I was tasked with keeping Engine assemblies available for 2 squadrons in Bermuda. 1st, they are last in line on the supply line for aviation parts. 2 squadrons means 18 4 engined airplanes complete with propellers, gearboxes, and wonderful turbines. 3 large drums full of 1st stage stator vanes was my only hope. Empty one on a huge table, divide scrap from emergency, and that can go a couple thousand more hours. Reclaimed enough to maintain those birds for 6 months. 4 months at that effort in 130 degree hangar working 18 hrs per day 7 days per week. You would think a nice thank you would be in order but the CNO said crossrate or get out. Politicians are the scourge of society.
Turing led a breakthrough against Hitler and his modern counterpart Hassabis has led a robotics breakthrough, Google Deepmind table tennis robot, that Safran should apply to many of its products. Aeryon Drones and University of Waterloo Visions Lab led in drone image recognition about 10 years. Safran should not take 10 years to adopt and adapt. Safran should be hiring University of Waterloo co-op students AND should collaborate with Draganfly Saskatoon, a habitual innovator. Besides the major NATO testing ground is nearby. And University of Saskatchewan has almost as many Nobel prizes in physics as China. Obviously, you and Draganfly and Ukraine's jet drones should be scaling up for peace, order and good government as per France's Champlain, father of Canada. Having said that, with 200,000,000 university students globally and 90,000,000 AI developers, GitHub 2024, history moves at an exponential rate and a generation of technology may be only months, down from centuries. Please verify or rebut.
Looking here from America well, I am very impressed with the factory. I will never take a granted for things made out of investment cast that is just unbelievable. You guys do a phenomenal job and water clean factory and everybody’s safe got respirators on and the right close they wouldn’t be here in America. They would tell you to breathe that dirt again excellent I never knew how they made the inner parts of the turbine blades. I work on turbine engines and now I’ve learned something. Thank you very much for putting this video up. Excellent.
Hello!! I'm Basavaraj I'm working as a design engineer in the refurbishing department at a steam turbine manufacturing company in India. I have a doubt about blade design; can you please resolve it?? Question: In low-pressure blades, previous OEMs made a core hole and assembled a rod inside it. We don't know why it is. Can you answer me??
I am a investment casting mould manufacturer & I know how much work has gone in designing & manufacturing of both core & cavity moulds... Kudos Safran🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bonjour Bess, voler avec un avion électrique c'est déjà possible !! Une trentaine d'aéroclubs et écoles de pilotage sont équipés du Velis Electro rien qu'en France ! J'ai fait ma formation sur cet avion et les qualités de vol sont exceptionnelles, il est silencieux et la propulsion le rend facile à piloter. Renseigne-toi auprès de ton aéroclub pour plus d'informations. Fly safe !
