    Abstract: An assembly for use in an attritable engine includes a hub and a blade. The hub is configured to rotate about a centerline axis passing through a center of the hub and is formed with a first type of layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. The blade is connected to and extends radially outward from the hub. The blade is formed with a second type of layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process that is different than the first layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. The hub and the blade are integrally formed together as a single piece of material with a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. The blade includes a root of a first material, a platform connected to the root, an airfoil connected to and extending from the platform, and a tip connected on a distal end of the airfoil opposite from the root. The platform includes a material that is different from the first.

    Abstract: A tandem tip blade includes a main blade body, a front blade and a rear blade. The front blade extends from a main body end. Each of a front blade pressure and a front blade suction side extends between a front blade leading edge and a front blade trailing edge and a front blade tip extending from the front blade pressure side to the front blade suction side. The rear blade extends from the main body end. Each of a rear blade pressure side and a rear blade suction side extends between a rear blade leading edge and a rear blade trailing edge, and a rear blade tip extending from the rear blade pressure side to the rear blade suction side.
