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 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.

Abstract: A guide vane assembly for a nacelle of a gas turbine engine includes a forward vane and an aft vane. The aft vane is located aft of the forward vane and forward of a plurality of fan blades. The forward vane defines a fixed pitch angle and the aft vane is movable between a first pitch angle and a second pitch angle.

Abstract: A composite airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine. The composite airfoil assembly includes a composite airfoil defined by a core and a skin. The composite airfoil assembly further includes cladding. The core defines a core exterior, where the skin is applied to at least a portion of the core exterior. The cladding is prepared before being coupled or adhered to the composite airfoil.
