    Abstract: A composite gas turbine engine structure includes a retention ring with airfoils mounted on, integral with, and extending radially away from retention ring. Retention ring includes annular composite plies (57), a circumferentially segmented airfoil ring including airfoil ring segments disposed around one of outer and inner circumferences of retention ring. Airfoil ring segments include annular bases and radially extending clockwise (60) and counter-clockwise (62) airfoil segments at clockwise (64) and counter-clockwise (66) ends of annular base. Composite airfoils include circumferentially adjacent ones of the clockwise and counter-clockwise airfoil segments. A flowpath shell (68) circumferentially disposed around segmented airfoil ring traps annular bases between flowpath shell and retention ring. Composite airfoils airfoils extend through slots (83) in flowpath shell. Plies may be wrapped in a single spiral made from a continuous composite tape. Slots may be circumferentially angled. Circumferentially adjacent ones of clockwise and counter" clockwise airfoil segments may be stitched together.

    Abstract: Described are a gas turbine engine fan blade platform, related rotor assembly and gas turbine engine, as well as a method of assembling the same. The platform has a forward portion proximal to an axis of rotation, an aft portion, and a transition portion between the forward and aft portions. The forward portion has a forward interface surface facing axially forward, the aft portion has an aft interface surface facing radially outward, and the transition portion has at least one mounting feature. For the method of assembly, an aft support is installed on a fan disk and booster spool assembly. A plurality of fan blades are installed into a fan disk, followed by installing a fan platform between adjacent blades and securing the mounting features to the disk, thereby filling the annulus of the fan disk. Finally, a forward support is installed on the fan disk.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotor blade and vane for a turbine engine constructed to be easier to bend or buckle than conventional rotor blades and vanes. SOLUTION: A rotor blade 100 for a turbine engine has a blade root portion 104 and an aerofoil portion 102 extending radially outward from the blade root portion 104 along a radial line RAS. The radial line RAS extends slantly at an angle rather than perpendicular or transverse to a plane along the upper face of a platform 106. As a result, over-turning moment occurs at the root of the aerofoil portion 102 during blading-out. The over-turning moment facilitates the bending of the aerofoil portion 102 and reduces damage to a stator.

    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a flange on a component is presented. The apparatus includes a mold disposed for the placement of the component thereon, a forming tool, and a tubular bladder. The forming tool is assembled to hold the component with a first portion extending into a space defined between the mold and the forming tool. The tubular bladder has a non-uniform wall thickness around its cross section along a longitudinal dimension of the bladder. The bladder is disposed in a step defined in the mold, and configured to impart a forming force to the portion extending into the space to form the flange on the component when the bladder is inflated. A method for forming the flange on the component is also provided.
