Abstract

A moving blade of a low pressure turbine includes a foot and a vane having an upper surface and a lower surface, the foot having a stilt linking the vane to the foot, wherein the stilt is formed such that the transverse section of the stilt has: a first straight portion, a second curved portion and a third straight portion, the curved portion having an outer face matching the profile of the upper surface of the vane and an inner face matching the profile of the lower surface of the vane.

Claims (9)

1. A moving blade of a low pressure turbine comprising a foot and a vane with an outer face and an inner face, said foot having a shank connecting the vane to the foot, wherein said shank is formed such that a cross-section of said shank has a first straight portion, a second curved portion and a third straight portion, said second curved portion having an external face, which has a same profile as that of the outer face at a bottom of said vane, and an internal face, which has a same profile as that of the inner face at the bottom of said vane.

2. The moving blade according to claim 1 , wherein said first and third straight portions are located on each side of said second curved portion.

3. The moving blade according to claim 1 , wherein said second curved portion is defined such that a cross-section of the second curved portion is superposed on a cross-section of the vane with an overlap of more than 95% of the cross-sectional area of the second curved portion.

4. The moving blade according to claim 1 , wherein each of said first, second and third portions has a constant thickness.

5. A low pressure turbine of a turbomachine, comprising a plurality of moving blades, each of the plurality of moving blades comprising a foot and a vane with an outer face and an inner face, said foot having a shank connecting the vane to the foot, wherein said shank is formed such that a cross-section of said shank has a first straight portion, a second curved portion and a third straight portion, said second curved portion having an external face, which has a same profile as that of the outer face at a bottom of said vane, and an internal face, which has a same profile as that of the inner face at the bottom of said vane.

6. The moving blade according to claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third portions have a same thickness.

7. The low pressure turbine according to claim 5 , wherein said first and third straight portions are located on each side of said second curved portion.

8. The low pressure turbine according to claim 5 , wherein said second curved portion is defined such that a cross-section of the second curved portion is superposed on a cross-section of the vane with an overlap of more than 95% of the cross-sectional area of the second curved portion.

9. The low pressure turbine according to claim 5 , wherein the first, second and third portions have a same thickness.
