Abstract:
A drive shaft of an aircraft turbine engine includes a first portion and a second portion, and connecting means connecting the first and second portions and being configured to transmit a torque from the second portion to the first portion. The connecting means has at least one bellows with a first section having a diameter greater than the diameters of the first and second portions and second sections flanking the first section. The first section includes at least one fusible section with at least one through-hole and being configured to break when the value of a torque applied to the first portion exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
