ABSTRACT:
A variable pitch fan, particularly for propulsion, of the type comprising a rotor and at least two stages of stator blade rows positioned upstream and downstream of the rotor, wherein the rotor blades (8) are of the variable pitch type and have a sinusoidal shape, are of the twisted type (1) or of the constant deflection type (2) and the stator blades (25), positioned downstream of the rotor, are of the twisted type. This rotor blade design allows a reduction of both the torque necessary to activate the variable pitch systems (lither actuator system) and the turning moments due to the centrifugal force. The proposed fan can be set in rotation by a conic couple of gears, contained in a gear oil sump positioned downstream the rotor, by means of one power shaft contained inside the stator blade.The variable pitch fan further provides a stator row upstream the rotor which are twisted in a manner that allows increased efficiency. The stator row downstream the rotor has a movable twisted part actuated by way of a simple electro mechanic system.This invention even further provides a light screw female system, actuated by an electric motor, to rotate the variable pitch rotor blades.
