Abstract: An aircraft assembly includes an engine, and intake, and a propeller assembly. The engine is mounted to at least one of a wing or fuselage of an aircraft. The intake is configured to provide air to the engine. The intake includes a body having an inlet end through which air enters the intake. The propeller assembly includes propeller blades coupled to and driven by the engine. The propeller assembly is spaced an axial distance from the inlet end of the intake wherein air impacted by the propeller blades enters the intake. The propeller assembly having a configuration that specifies at least one of: 1) the axial distance from the propeller to the end of the intake; 2) propeller loading distribution; 3) propeller cuff shape; or 4) propeller spinner shape. At least a portion of the propeller configuration is at least one of sized or shaped to optimize performance of the propeller assembly based on an interaction between the propeller assembly and the intake.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine airfoil includes leading and trailing edges, pressure and suction sides extending from airfoil base to airfoil tip, trailing edge cladding made of cladding material bonded to composite core made of composite material, cladding material less brittle than composite material, composite core including central core portion extending downstream from leading edge portion to trailing edge portion of composite core, and trailing edge cladding including wavy wall and trailing edge. Pressure and suction side flanks of trailing edge cladding may be bonded to pressure and suction side surfaces of trailing edge portion. Waves of wavy wall may extend normal to and away from the pressure and suction side surfaces. Trailing edge cladding may include wavy pressure and suction side trailing edge guards including waves of wavy wall. Airfoil may extend outwardly from platform of a blade. Root may include integral dovetail.

Abstract: An airfoil, a fan assembly and an unducted contra-rotating fan engine include fabricating at least one airfoil including a suction and a pressure side coupled together at a leading and a trailing edge and extending therebetween. The airfoil includes a plurality of chord sections having a chord length. The airfoil including a tip profile defining a reducing slope extending from the leading edge at the tip portion along at least a portion of the chord length. The tip profile is configured to reduce the high unsteady pressure near the tip portion of the airfoil.

Abstract: An airfoil of a propulsion device having a first riblet laminate with a first adhesive layer on at least a first portion of the airfoil surface and a first riblet array sheet disposed on at least a portion of the first adhesive layer. The first riblet array sheet defines a first plurality of contiguous geometric features having rigid peaks and valleys extending in a first rib direction. The first plurality of contiguous geometric features define a total width to total height ratio W:H of about 1:1 to about 2.5:1 with a maximum total height of about 0.65 mm or less. A second riblet array laminate is also disclosed in an embodiment.
