Title: Axel Sylvain Loïc Thomas: Turbomachinery Inventions

Introduction

Axel Sylvain Loïc Thomas is an inventor based in Moissy-Cramayel, France. His patent work includes inventions for turbine engines and turbomachinery assemblies. He is associated with Safran Aircraft Engines and has 4 patents.

Latest Patents

One of Thomas’s latest patents concerns a turbine for a turbine engine that uses heat-shielding foils. The turbine includes a casing, a movable impeller, a ring, and a distributor with a blade platform and spoiler. Foils extend between the spoiler and the casing’s annular hook, arranged successively around the turbine axis. Stops prevent circumferential movement, while protrusions on adjacent foils are positioned opposite one another. The design addresses the placement and retention of the foils within the turbine.

Another patent describes an assembly for turbomachinery that connects an annular turbine distributor to a coaxial structural element. The distributor has at least two axial passages, through which pins attached to the structural element extend. A transverse stop passes through consecutive pins to limit axial movement of the distributor, while additional stops retain the transverse stop and help secure the assembly.

Career Highlights

Thomas’s disclosed inventions focus on components and attachment arrangements for turbine engines and turbomachinery. His work at Safran Aircraft Engines places these inventions within the aerospace propulsion field.
