Abstract

A turbine engine includes a fan. The fan includes a first shaft driven in rotation via a reduction gear, the first shaft being guided in rotation with respect to a support of a fixed structure via an upstream bearing and a downstream bearing, the downstream bearing guiding in rotation the first shaft with respect to a downstream branch of the support, the first shaft and the support together defining an enclosure. The reduction gear includes a ring gear fixed to the structure via a shell. The turbine engine also includes a lubricator composed of at least one pipe for conveying a liquid lubricant, wherein the pipe is located in the enclosure, the pipe passing through an orifice made in the shell and an opening made in the downstream branch.
