    Abstract: A turbine engine comprising a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine longitudinal axis. The turbine engine includes an airfoil with an outer wall having a pressure side and a suction side, extending between a root and a tip in a span-wise direction, and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chord-wise direction. The airfoil includes a woven core, a first bonding layer including a toughened region, and a laminate skin provided exterior of the first bonding layer and bonded to the woven core by the first bonding layer.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine longitudinal axis. Sets of blades can be rotatably driven about the longitudinal axis in the compressor section and the turbine section, with adjacent vanes provided between sets of blades. The airfoil structure defining one or more of the blades or vanes can include a core structure which includes a woven or foam core, with an exterior woven layer.
