Abstract: A method of electroforming an airfoil comprising an airfoil body. The method comprising electroforming a metal edge shell over a filler, located at a leading edge of the airfoil body, and over the airfoil body. The filler can be encapsulated within the metal edge shell and the metal edge shell has a sculpted leading edge defining a non-linear pattern.

Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite airfoil includes a high-pressure surface and a low-pressure surface connected at a leading edge and a trailing edge. The high-pressure surface and the low-pressure surface extend from a first end to a second end. A leading edge cooling passage includes an inlet portion, a midspan portion and an outlet portion. A cross-sectional flow area of the midspan portion is less than a cross-sectional flow area of either the inlet portion or the outlet portion.

Abstract: An engine section stator for a gas turbine engine having a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The engine section stator includes an inner band, an outer band spaced radially outwardly from the inner band, and a series of spaced apart aerofoils extending the inner and outer bands. The engine section stator includes a stiffness feature that extends away from one of the inner and outer bands of the engine section stator. The stiffness feature configured to increase the high cycle fatigue strength of the aerofoils without impeding airflow passing between the inner and outer bands.

Abstract: Airfoils bodies having a first end, a second end, a leading edge, and a trailing edge with a leading edge channel having a first channel wall and a second channel wall that join at a channel base to define the leading edge channel. The leading edge channel extends in a radial direction along the leading edge. A first leading edge impingement cavity is located proximate the leading edge and the first channel wall defines a portion of the first leading edge impingement cavity and a second leading edge impingement cavity with the second channel wall forming a portion of the second leading edge impingement cavity. A first leading edge impingement hole is formed in the first channel wall and angled such that air flowing from the first leading edge impingement cavity and through the first leading edge impingement hole impinges upon a portion of the second channel wall.
