Patent attributes
A fan module including variable-pitch blades, a fan rotor bearing the blades of the fan, each mounted to pivot about a pitch axis; a fan shaft extending along a longitudinal axis X inside the fan rotor and driving the fan rotor in rotation. A power shaft drives the fan shaft with a planetary gear speed reducer At least a first and a second bearing guide the rotation of the fan rotor, housed inside a lubrication chamber. A system varies the pitch of the fan blades, including a connecting mechanism connected to the blades of the fan and a controller acting on the connecting mechanism. The first bearing is disposed upstream of the speed reducer and the second bearing is disposed downstream of the speed reducer. The fan rotor is connected to the fan shaft by an annular trunnion extending at least along an upstream portion of the lubrication chamber.
