Engine LEAP-1A
During my second year as a student at IPSA, with a group of 4, we had a CATIA project with the instruction to design "an articulated mechanism that is the subject of a technical solution that can be incorporated into a global product".
So, we decided to reproduce the engine LEAP-1A, the engine created by Safran and mainly used in the Airbus A320 Neo family.
Why ?
​
We wanted to design the engine because of its degree of difficulty and to understand the mechanism of an aircraft engine.
Our objectives.
Design the engine as close to the reality as possible. Due to the short delay imposed by the professor, we decided to simplify the engine, while keeping the complexity imposed by the different modules of a double-body and double-flow engine.
So as you can see, there are photos of our project about the engine LEAP-1A. We designed the double flow and also the double-body, with high pressure modules and low pressure modules.
​
In our design we can find the fan, the compressors, the combustion chamber, the turbines and finally the nozzle.
​
But, the other important point of this project was the kinematics.
​
We have succeeded in rotating the differents modules, with a different speed between the high pressure modules and the low pressure modules following a ratio of 3 between the two.
