    Abstract: Composite airfoils and methods for forming composite airfoils are provided. For example, a composite airfoil of a gas turbine engine comprises opposite pressure and suction sides extending radially along a span from a root to a tip, which define opposite radial extremities of the airfoil. The composite airfoil further comprises a body section and a tip section, which includes the tip, that each extend radially along the span. The composite airfoil is formed from a composite material comprising fibers disposed in a matrix material. The tip section has a tip fiber volume, and the body section has a body fiber volume that is greater than the tip fiber volume. Another composite airfoil comprises a tip cap applied over the tip that tapers from a first end to a second end such that each of the pressure and suction side walls of the tip cap narrows from a first thickness to a second thickness.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring a health condition of a component is provided. The system includes a sensor network comprising a transmitter and a plurality of receivers. Each receiver is configured to receive an electromagnetic signal from the transmitter. A communications interface module is configured to receive an output signal from the transmitter. A computing system includes one or more memory devices and one or more processors. The one or more memory devices is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to execute operations. The operations include transmitting the electromagnetic signal from the transmitter to the plurality of receivers; receiving the output signal at the communications interface module, wherein the output signal is indicative of an array of the plurality of receivers that received the electromagnetic signal; and determining the health condition based on the output signal to the nominal operating state of the component.
