    Abstract: A softwall containment system for a machine includes an inner wall circumscribing a bladed rotatable member of the machine and extending from a forward end to an aft end. The softwall containment system also includes an outer wall circumscribing the inner wall and extending from a forward end to an aft end. The outer wall is spaced radially outwardly from the inner wall. The outer wall extends axially between a first joint coupling the forward end of the inner wall to the forward end of the outer wall and a second joint coupling the aft end of the inner wall to the aft end of the outer wall. The softwall containment system also includes an anti-ballistic material wrap covering the outer wall, the anti-ballistic material wrap including at least one of a first extension extending forward of the first joint and a second extension extending aft of the second joint.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine defines a radial direction. The engine includes: an airfoil positioned within an airflow and extending between a root end and a tip along the radial direction; and a mount coupled to or formed integrally with the root end of the airfoil for mounting the airfoil to the engine, the mount including an outer surface along the radial direction exposed to the airflow and defining an air-cooling channel extending between an inlet and an outlet, the inlet positioned on the outer surface of the mount.

    Abstract: An airfoil defining a span extending between a root and a tip. The airfoil includes a retaining member extending at least partially between a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a frangible line extending at least partially along a chord at a point along the span of the retaining member. The airfoil further includes a frangible airfoil portion extending between the tip and the frangible line. The frangible airfoil portion includes a first plurality of composite plies, at least one composite ply of the first plurality of composite plies wraps around the retaining member. The airfoil includes a residual airfoil portion extending from the frangible line to the root including a second plurality of composite plies, at least one composite ply of the second plurality of composite plies wraps around the retaining member. Further, the residual airfoil portion meets the frangible airfoil portion at the frangible line.
