    Abstract: A booster splitter for a gas turbine engine and a method of additively manufacturing the booster splitter are provided. The booster splitter includes an annular inner wall defining a radially outer boundary of a compressor flow path defined through a compressor section of the gas turbine engine, an annular outer wall spaced apart from the annular inner wall along the radial direction, the annular outer wall adjacent to the annular inner wall at a forward end, the forward end defining an inlet to the compressor flow path, an annular bulkhead spanning between the annular inner wall and the annular outer wall substantially along the radial direction, the bulkhead defining an inlet port, and a passageway defined within the annular outer wall, the passageway extending from the inlet port, into the bulkhead, radially outward to the outer wall, and through the annular outer wall towards the inlet defined by the forward end.

    Abstract: A fan platform for gas turbine engine is provided. The fan platform incudes a body portion and a flow path surface coupled to the body portion. The body portion and the flow path surface define at least a portion of a flow path extending through the engine. The body portion and/or the flow path surface include an impact region including hybrid composite plies including one or more metallic tows. A gas turbine engine including the fan platform and methods for forming the fan platform are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Hybrid material components and methods of forming hybrid material components are provided. For example, a hybrid material component comprises a plurality of metallic tows and a plurality of non-metallic tows. Each metallic tow of the plurality of metallic tows is surrounded by a portion of the plurality of non-metallic tows such that the plurality of metallic tows are embedded within the plurality of non-metallic tows. An exemplary hybrid material component is a containment assembly of a gas turbine engine. Methods of forming such components include forming a hybrid material; laying up a plurality of layers of the material to form a layup; and processing the layup such that a plurality of metallic tows and a plurality of non-metallic tows are co-cured.

    Abstract: A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section and a root section extending along a longitudinal direction between an upstream surface and a downstream surface. The root section further extends along a radial direction between an inner surface positioned at an inner end of the root section and an outer end coupled to the airfoil section. Moreover, the root section extends along a circumferential direction between a first side surface and a second side surface. Furthermore, the root section defines a longitudinal centerline extending along the longitudinal direction and positioned equidistant from the inner surface and the outer end in the radial direction. The root section includes a first portion formed from a composite material and a second portion formed from a metallic material, with the longitudinal centerline extending through the second portion of the root section.

    Abstract: Airframe localized keel structures are disclosed. An example aircraft includes an airframe, a first engine mounted on a first side of the airframe, a second engine mounted on a second side of the airframe, and an airframe keel positioned on at least one of a lower portion of the airframe or an upper portion of the airframe between the first engine and the second engine, the airframe keel to prevent an object from exiting the first engine and impacting the second engine.
