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 the 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 includes standoffs, and a cover panel is bonded to an outer surface of the standoffs to define passages between the cover panel and the spar. Cooling air is fed through an inlet port formed in a base standoff to the passages of the spar through a cooling feed channel defined in the disk or shank portion.
