Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a fan case assembly for a gas turbine engine, the fan case assembly comprising a fan case and a fan liner, wherein the method comprises: providing a mounting ring configured to extend about an inner circumference of the fan case; providing a gasket at an axial end of the mounting ring, wherein the gasket extends around the inner circumference of the fan case; providing the fan liner at the axial end of the mounting ring with the gasket, wherein the fan liner extends around the inner circumference of the fan case; and heating the fan case assembly so as to cure a resin provided between the fan case and fan liner, wherein the heating causes the mounting ring to expand radially relative to the fan case such that the gasket is brought into engagement with the fan case and unwanted migration of resin away from between the fan case and fan liner is restricted.
