    Abstract: A metal leading edge includes a nose positioned along the leading edge of a fan blade airfoil body. The metal leading edge also includes a first edge extending axially aftward from the nose along a pressure side of the fan blade airfoil body. The metal leading edge further includes a second edge extending axially aftward from the nose along a suction side of the fan blade airfoil body. The first edge and the second edge forming a notch at the conjunction of the first edge, the second edge, and the nose. The metal leading edge also includes a nose length extending from a nose tip to the notch. The nose length at a first radial location is different from the nose length at a second radial location.

    Abstract: A method for generating a computer model of a composite component includes generating a surface mesh based on a ply drop region and a ply curved surface and generating node data including a plurality of node points relative to the ply drop region. The method also includes receiving composite data relating to a plurality of composite plies and generating a three dimensional model based on the composite data. The method further includes receiving layup table information and applying the node data, based on the layup table information, to generate a curve through a center of the surface mesh to define a plurality of element sets. The method also includes receiving composite draping data and determining, based on the draping data, where each element set intersects the three dimensional model. The method also includes analyzing an angle deviation of the plies based on the intersection of the element sets.

    Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine. The component includes a continuous fiber blade including an airfoil extending radially between a root and a tip and a blade attachment feature positioned at or adjacent to the root. The component further includes a platform coupled to the root of the continuous fiber blade. The platform includes a plurality of chopped fibers. Additionally, the component includes a thermoplastic polymer contained in both the continuous fiber blade and the platform. Moreover, the continuous fiber blade and platform are coupled together such that the continuous fiber blade and platform form a monolithic composite body.

    Abstract: A fan assembly for an engine has a fan blade, a disk having a disk segment, a trunnion mechanism having a trunnion extending at least partially through the disk segment, and first and second attachment systems. The trunnion has a platform and a shaft. The fan blade is adjacent to the platform of the trunnion. The trunnion is attached to the disk segment using the first attachment system along a preload path. The first and second attachment systems further include first and second retention features, respectively, separate from the preload path. During normal operation of the fan assembly, the first attachment system retains the trunnion within the disk along a first load path. Upon a failure in the trunnion, the first and second retention features together retain the trunnion within the disk segment along a second load path, the first load path being different than the second load path.

    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.
