Abstract:
A structural guide vane for use in a gas turbine engine has a leading edge section, a trailing edge, a pressure surface and a suction surface. An erosion coating such as polyurethane resin is on the pressure surface and the suction surface. The leading edge of the vane is without the erosion coating and is bare metal. The vane is formed to include a plurality of pockets and bond shelves in the pressure surface side, and an epoxy bond line on the bond shelves holding a cover plate protected by the erosion coating.
