Abstract

A turbojet fan blade in which a leading edge presents a sweep angle greater than or equal to +28° in a portion of the blade that is situated at a radial height lying in a range of 60% to 90% of a total radial height of the blade measured from its root towards its tip, and the leading-edge sweep angle presents a difference of less than 10° between a minimum sweep angle measured at a radial height of minimum sweep angle situated in the portion of the blade lying in a range of 20% to 90% of the radial height of the blade, and a sweep angle measured at a radial height that is 10% greater than the radial height of minimum sweep angle.

Claims (15)

1. A turbojet fan blade comprising:

a root;

a tip;

a leading edge; and

a trailing edge,

wherein the leading edge presents a sweep angle greater than or equal to +28° in a portion of the blade that is situated at a radial height lying in a range of 60% to 90% of a total radial height of the blade measured from the root towards the tip,

wherein the leading edge sweep angle presents a minimum situated at a minimum sweep angle radial height of the blade, the minimum sweep angle radial height being situated in a portion of the blade lying in a range of 20% to 90% of the total radial height of the blade,

wherein the leading edge presents a first sweep angle difference corresponding to a difference in absolute value between a sweep angle measured at the minimum sweep angle radial height and a sweep angle measured at a radial height that is 10% greater than the minimum sweep angle radial height, the first sweep angle difference being less than 10°, and

wherein the leading edge sweep angle is positive in a portion of the blade that is situated at a radial height lying in a range of 0% to 15% of the total radial height of the blade.

2. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein the leading edge presents a negative sweep angle in a low portion of the blade situated in a range of 0% to 50%,

wherein the leading edge sweep angle changes to sweep-back at a sweep-back changeover radial height of the blade, the sweep-back changeover radial height being situated directly above the minimum sweep angle radial height,

wherein the leading edge presents a second sweep angle difference corresponding to a difference in absolute value between a sweep angle measured at the sweep-back changeover radial height and a sweep angle measured at a radial height that is 10% greater than the sweep-back changeover radial height, the second sweep angle difference being less than 10°.

3. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a maximum longitudinal abscissa value of a center of gravity of blade sections situated above a minimum longitudinal abscissa point and a longitudinal abscissa value of the center of gravity of the blade section corresponding to the minimum longitudinal abscissa point is less than or equal to 20% of an axial chord of the blade measured at the root.

4. A turbojet fan, comprising a plurality of blades according to claim 1 .

5. A turbojet, comprising a plurality of blades according to claim 1 .
