Abstract: A blade for a turbine engine comprising a composite core defining a pressure side and a suction side extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a chord-wise direction and extending radially between a root and a tip defining a span-wise direction. The composite core is formed from two materials with different compositions.

Abstract: A rotating shaft and a method for additively manufacturing the rotating shaft are provided. The rotating shaft includes an elongated body extending along an axial direction and including an inner surface that defines a hollow central portion. An internal support structure extends from the inner surface into the hollow central portion to stiffen the rotating shaft and provide a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The internal support structures may include stiffening ribs, truss structures, mesh structures, solid disks, and/or regions having a decreased density relative to the elongated body. The elongated body and some or all internal features may be integrally formed as a single monolithic component.

Abstract: A method of making a 3D tube and the 3D tube made thereby. The method comprises: inserting a deflated pre-formed bladder into the 3D tube; and inflating the pre-formed bladder to deform the 3D tube and make the 3D tube have a substantially similar shape as that of the pre-formed bladder inflated.

Abstract: A composite blade assembly and a method of assembling a composite blade are provided. The composite blade assembly includes a composite blade having a radially inner root. A composite blade assembly includes a first platform and a circumferentially adjacent second platform abutting the first platform at a platform joint. Each of the first platform and the second platform includes a radially outer surface and a radially inwardly extending attachment member. The platform joint includes a slot extending through adjacent edges of the first platform and the second platform. The slot is configured to receive the radially inner root and the radially inner root is configured to be sandwiched between the attachment members. The blade assembly includes an adhesive system configured to join the radially inner root of the composite blade and the attachment members into a unitary structure, and a retaining clip configured to bias the attachment members towards each other.

Abstract: A containment structure configured to provide close tolerance for a rotation structure. The containment structure includes an annular inner casing having an inner annular surface being formed of an abradable material. The rotation structure is configured to be received within the annular inner casing such that the rotation structure is normally spaced-apart from the inner annular surface. The inner annular surface surrounds the rotation structure and has a first width. The rotation structure has a second width and the first width is greater than the second width. At least a section of the inner annular surface of the abradable material is cylindrical.
