Abstract: A fan blade having an opening on one side exposing one or more cavities, and a composite cover that fits over the opening, is provided. The composite cover has a variable thickness resulting from the layering of cover plies having different shapes, and is designed to achieve a lightweight fan blade having an optimal level of stiffness.

Abstract: An airfoil includes a body that has rib nodes that each define a node cavity therein. A cover panel is carried on the body over the rib nodes. The cover panel includes tabs that project into the node cavities. Plugs are disposed in the node cavities and pinch the tabs against the node cavities to lock the cover panel on the body.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a blade body, a leading edge sheath, and an energy absorbing insert. The blade body has a pressure side and a suction side that each between a forward portion and a trailing edge. The leading edge sheath has a leading edge portion that is spaced apart from the forward portion, a first arm that engages the pressure side, and a second arm that engages the suction side. A cavity is defined between the leading edge portion, the first arm, the second arm, and the forward portion. The energy absorbing insert is disposed within the cavity and improves the impact resistance of the airfoil.

Abstract: An airfoil according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a main body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge separated in a chordwise direction and extending between a tip and a root in a spanwise direction. The main body defines a suction side and a pressure side separated in a thickness direction and a plurality of channels extending inwardly from at least one of said suction and pressure sides. A composite cover is attached to the main body. The composite cover includes a plurality of stiffeners each received within one of the channels. A cover skin is adjacent the stiffeners, and an over-wrap surrounds the stiffeners and the cover skin.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan mounting a first group of blades and a second group of blades. The first group of blades and the second group of blades share a profile shape. The first group of blades have a first laminate composition, and the second group of blades have a second laminate composition, distinct from the first laminate composition. A frequency of a vibratory mode of the first group of blades is offset from a frequency of a vibratory mode of the second group of blades.
