Abstract:
A gas turbine engine and a blisk are disclosed, including methods of making the same. The blisk may include a disk, spars of airfoils, platforms, and shanks of airfoils integrally formed as a unit. Such blisk features may be integrally formed by a casting process or additive manufacturing. The blisk includes cooled airfoils, such that the spar is hollow, and a cover panel is bonded to an outer surface of standoffs to define passages between the cover panel and the spar. Cooling air is fed to the hollow spar through a cooling feed channel defined in the disk or shank portion.
