Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a turbine engine fan case assembly.SOLUTION: A turbine engine fan case assembly includes a structural case and a liner assembly. A radially adapted mounting mechanism connects the liner assembly to the structural case. The mounting mechanism includes a circumferentially-distributed plurality of longitudinally elongated and radially outwardly open channels mounted to the liner assembly. The mounting mechanism further includes an associated plurality of inwardly-projecting projecting edge parts mounted to the structural case. Each of the projecting edge parts is accommodated in a corresponding channel, respectively.
Abstract:
An airfoil member (100) comprising has a substrate (120) along at least a portion of an airfoil (102) of the airfoil member. A sheath (122) has a channel (144) receiving a portion (160) of the substrate. A scrim (200) is between the substrate and the sheath. A spacer (220) is between the sheath and the substrate and has a plurality of spaced-apart portions (232, 234) with gaps between the spaced-apart portions.
Abstract:
A de-icing system for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a forward assembly and a rear assembly adjacent to the forward assembly. One of the forward assembly and the rear assembly is rotatable relative to the other to generate an amount of air friction between said forward and rear assemblies.

A sheath (122) has a channel (144) receiving a portion (160) of the substrate. A plurality of separate spacers (320; 380; 400) are between the sheath and the substrate and have a plurality of gaps between the spacers.
Abstract:
A blade comprises an airfoil extending from a trailing edge to a leading edge. The airfoil includes a body formed of an aluminum containing material. A sheath is at the leading edge and is formed of a titanium containing material. A sandwich is positioned intermediate the sheath and the airfoil body, the sandwich including an outer adhesive layer adjacent the sheath, an intermediate fabric layer and an inner adhesive layer adjacent the body. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A fan assembly of a gas turbine engine, a method for fabricating a fan assembly for a gas turbine engine, and a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The fan assembly of the gas turbine engine may include a spinner section, a fan hub section aft of the spinner section, and a joint therebetween. The fan assembly may further include a support ring for internally supporting the spinner, the support ring including a first portion facing the fan hub and a second portion connected to the spinner at the joint, wherein the connection between the second portion and the joint is a bonded connection.
