Abstract
An aircraft turbojet including a fan having a hub driven by a shaft carried by at least one bearing connected to the structure of the turbojet by a bearing support that includes an interposed decoupling device. The hub carries at its periphery a plurality of blades that move inside a retention casing with radial clearance E between the tips of the blades and an inside wall of the retention casing. The inside wall is lined in a layer of abradable material suitable for being planed away by the tips of the rotating blades. The tips of the blades are suitable for being disintegrated by the inside wall of the retention casing in the event of an impact following the appearance of unbalance that has led to the bearing being decoupled, to obtain a clearance J>E as required for operation of the decoupler.
