Abstract

An internal wall of an air intake and a housing of a fan form a single tubular piece made from a fiber/resin composite material. A rear end has the single tubular component connected by a flange and bolts to an external cowl of the fan duct, such that the rear end of the tubular component is uniform and the flange is attached and fixed to the rear end.

Claims (7)

1. An aircraft turbine engine, comprising:

an air intake enclosed by an external cowl and provided with a tubular internal wall;

a fan casing formed as a single piece tubular component with the tubular internal wall of the air intake, wherein the single piece tubular component is made of a resin/fiber composite;

a fan having blades surrounded by the single piece tubular component made of the resin/fiber composite; and

an external fan cowl of a fan duct, with a rear end of said single piece tubular component being uniform and connected by a flange and bolts to a front end of the external fan cowl.

2. The aircraft turbine engine according to claim 1 , wherein said resin/fiber composite is a carbon fiber composite.

3. The aircraft turbine of claim 1 , wherein the resin/fiber composite internally bears a noise-deadening tubular covering.
