Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil section that extends from a root section. The airfoil section extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction and extends between a tip portion and the root section in a radial direction. The airfoil section defines a pressure side and a suction side separated in a thickness direction. The airfoil section includes a metallic sheath that receives a composite core. The core includes first and second ligaments received in respective internal channels defined by the sheath such that the first and second ligaments are spaced apart along the root section with respect to the chordwise direction. Each one of the first and second ligaments includes at least one interface portion in the root section, and at least one interface portion of the first ligament and the at least one interface portion of the second ligament define respective sets of bores aligned to receive a common retention pin.
