Abstract:
A fan section to be incorporated into a gas turbine engine has a rotor and a plurality of fan blades. The fan blades deliver air into a bypass duct defined inwardly of the nacelle and into a core engine. There are static vanes inward of the nacelle. A surface of the fan section is provided with a removable film material. A gas turbine engine and a method of refurbishing a surface are also disclosed.
