Abstract:
A method of assembling an airfoil includes depositing a bonding material on a first end of the tip portion and shaping the bonding material to form a first plurality of features. The first plurality of features correspond to a second plurality of features on a second end of the body portion. The method also includes positioning the first end relative to the second end such that the first plurality of features and the second plurality of features interlock. The method further includes coupling the first end of the tip portion to the second end of the body portion.
