Abstract:
A fan blade (52) includes a lattice structure (80), a fill (82), and a structural wrap (84). The lattice structure (80) defines an airfoil body (110) that has a cavity (116). The lattice structure (80) defines at least one spar (106) that extends radially from a root (60) of the airfoil body (110) towards a tip (78) of the airfoil body (110). The fill (82) is disposed within the cavity (116). The structural wrap (84) is disposed about the lattice structure (80). The structural wrap (84) defines a plurality of plies (120) that extend from a leading edge (70) of the airfoil body (110) towards a trailing edge (72) of the airfoil body (110).
Abstract:
An airfoil (66, 166, 266, 366, 466, 566, 566', 666, 766) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes an airfoil section (66A, 166A, 266A, 366A, 466A, 566A, 666A, 766A) that extends from a root section (66B, 266B, 366B, 466B, 566B, 666B, 766B). The airfoil section (66A... 766A) extends between a leading edge (LE) and a trailing edge (TE) in a chordwise direction (C) and extends between a tip portion (66C, 266C, 466C, 766C) and the root section (66B...766B) in a radial direction (R). The airfoil section (66A... 766A) defines a pressure side (P) and a suction side (S) separated in a thickness direction (T), and the airfoil section (66A...766A) includes a metallic sheath (72, 172, 272, 372, 472, 572, 672) that defines an internal cavity receiving a composite core (74, 174, 274, 474, 574, 774). The root section (66B...766B) defines at least one bore (85, 485) dimensioned to receive a retention pin (68, 168, 368, 468, 568, 668). At least one damping element (487, 487', 587, 587', 687, 787) is received in the internal cavity and that selectively causes the airfoil section (66A...766A) to stiffen.
Abstract:
An airfoil (60; 150) includes a leading edge (70; 160), a trailing edge (72; 162), a pressure side (74; 164) extending between the leading and the trailing edge, and a suction side (76; 166) that is disposed opposite the pressure side extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The airfoil further includes a spar (80; 170) and a structural member (82; 172). The spar defines the leading edge. The structural member is bonded to the spar.

Abstract:
A nacelle (62) for a gas turbine engine (20), the nacelle (62) includes an inlet (66) axially forward of a fan section (22). The inlet (66) includes an interior surface (80). A leading edge (72) includes an inlet cavity (70). A first conduit (74) communicates airflow to the inlet cavity (70) for preventing accretion of ice on the leading edge (72). An inlet duct (78) is open to the interior surface (80) aft of the inlet cavity (70). A second conduit (76) is in fluid communication with the first conduit (74) and the inlet duct (78). The second conduit (76) communicates airflow to the inlet duct (78) for generating film heating airflow over the interior surface (80) for preventing ice accretion. A gas turbine engine (20) is also disclosed.
