Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil section that has an airfoil wall that circumscribes an internal airfoil cavity and defines leading and trailing ends and pressure and suction sides. The airfoil wall is formed of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) laminate comprised of fiber plies disposed in a ceramic matrix. The fiber plies include a skin fiber ply that defines an exterior of the airfoil section and at least one inner fiber ply that lines the skin fiber ply. At least one inner fiber ply locally terminates at one of the leading end or the trailing end such that the airfoil wall has fewer of the fiber plies in the leading end or the trailing end than in each of the pressure side and the suction side.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes a component wall that has an exterior core gaspath side and an opposed interior side. The component wall is formed of a ceramic matrix composite that includes a plurality of fiber plies disposed in a ceramic matrix. The component wall includes a corner that connects first and second wall sections. The fiber plies extend continuously through the first wall section, the corner, and the second wall section. The fiber plies are in a stacked contiguous arrangement in the first and second wall sections and at least some of the fiber plies separate from one another in the corner to define one or more void pockets there between.

Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil section that is formed of a fiber-reinforced composite that has fiber plies. The fiber plies include at least one overwrap fiber ply, first and second support fiber plies, and a serpentine fiber ply. The overwrap fiber ply circumscribes an internal cavity and defines first and second sides and leading and trailing ends of the airfoil section. The first and second support fiber plies define respective first and second radial tubes in the internal cavity. The serpentine fiber ply winds from the first side and around the first radial tube to the second side, then from the second side back to the first side, and then from the first side and around the second radial tube back to the second side.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section and a platform that has a non-gaspath side, a flange that extends from the non-gaspath side, and a gaspath side from which the airfoil section extends. The flange is comprised of a sandwich composite that includes first and second ceramic matrix composite (CMC) skins that each have at least one 2-D ceramic fiber ply, and a cellular core disposed between the first and second CMC skins.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section and a platform that has a non-gaspath side and a gaspath side from which the airfoil section extends. The platform is comprised of a sandwich composite that has first and second ceramic matrix composite (CMC) skins that each include at least one 2-D ceramic fiber ply. The first and second CMC skins are disposed, respectively, on the gaspath side and the non-gaspath side, and there is a cellular core disposed radially between the first and second CMC skins.

Abstract: An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a metallic damper including a first contact surface and a gas turbine engine component. The gas turbine engine component includes a main body extending in a first direction between a gaspath surface and a second contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces oppose each other along an interface extending in a second direction. The first and second contact surfaces are dimensioned to contact each other along the interface in a hot assembly state. The main body is established by a composite including fibers in a matrix material. At least some of the fibers are arranged to establish a plurality of cooling passages aligned with the interface relative to the second direction. A method of damping for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite airfoil includes a high-pressure surface and a low-pressure surface connected at a leading edge and a trailing edge. The high-pressure surface and the low-pressure surface extend from a first end to a second end. A leading edge cooling passage includes an inlet portion, a midspan portion and an outlet portion. A cross-sectional flow area of the midspan portion is less than a cross-sectional flow area of either the inlet portion or the outlet portion.
