- the present invention relates to the field of turbomachines. It is aimed at a turbomachine blade and in particular a fan straightener blade.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a nacelle and a fan casing secured to the nacelle and which is equipped with at least one stator blade and a turbine engine equipped with such a blade or such an assembly with a blade of rectifier.
- the natural evolution of multi-stream turbofan engines having a blower, in particular upstream, is to increase the propulsive efficiency via a reduction in the specific thrust obtained by decreasing the compression ratio of the blower, which results in an increase in the or BPR (Bypass Ratio), which is the ratio of the mass flow rate of air through the vein (s) surrounding the gas generator to the mass flow of air through the generator of gas, calculated at maximum thrust when the engine is stationary in an international standard atmosphere at sea level.

It also reduces the noise generated towards the end of the blade head when the latter is mounted in the nacelle.
- the acoustic intensity increases with the proximity between the fan blades and the stator vanes. The zones located around 75% of the height of the blade are particularly concerned by these interactions because of the observed speeds and the aerodynamic load involved. The profile of the stator blade thus makes it possible to maintain a minimum axial distance. required to the top of the stator vanes.

- (d / C) 50% H ⁇ H ⁇ 95% H is the distance between the trailing edge of the blower and the leading edge of the straightener blade divided by the length of the axial rope of the blade of blower between 50% and 95% of the height of the stator vane
- (d / C) 100% H is the distance between the trailing edge of the blower and the leading edge of the divided stator vane by the length of the axial cord of the dawn of blower at the head of the dawn of rectifier.

- the elements described above are designated in the rest of the description by the same reference numerals.
- the nacelle envelops the dawn 1 and the blower.
- the downstream end of the head end of the blade 1 is located downstream of the downstream end of the fan casing to reduce the mass of the turbomachine.
- the nacelle is made of materials lighter than the fan case. We seek to limit the extension of the fan case to replace it with the nacelle.
- the equipment of the nacelle such as a thrust reverser can be integrated further upstream, and in particular closer to the fan which reduces the axial extension of the nacelle and the turbomachine.
- the downstream end of the head end 4 is located vis-à-vis the nacelle 101.
