摘要:
A guide vane 24 for the fan of a dual flow or bypass aircraft engine has an aerodynamic part 32 comprising an inner duct 50a for lubricant cooling extending in a main direction 52a parallel to the vane. The aerodynamic part is a single or unitary piece, which comprises heat transfer fins 80 in the duct that expand or extend substantially parallel to the main direction. The fins are spaced from each other in the main direction and a transverse direction from leading 64 to trailing 62 edge and at least some of the fins are arranged staggered. The duct may include a first zone and a second zone offset in a transverse direction, where the second zone has an average height between the pressure and suction side walls less than that of the first zone, and the first zone has a greater average density of fins than the second zone. There may also be a second inner duct similarly configured to the first duct, where the ducts may be separate or in fluid communication. Also claimed is an aircraft engine comprising a plurality of such vanes, and a method of manufacturing the vane by additive manufacturing.
