    Abstract: A turbine engine comprising a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine longitudinal axis. The turbine engine includes an airfoil with an outer wall having a pressure side and a suction side, extending between a root and a tip in a span-wise direction, and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chord-wise direction. The airfoil includes a woven core, a first bonding layer including a toughened region, and a laminate skin provided exterior of the first bonding layer and bonded to the woven core by the first bonding layer.

    Abstract: A turbomachine for a vehicle is provided. The turbomachine includes a first rotatable component; a first power source operatively coupled with the first rotatable component; a second power source selectively coupled with the first rotatable component; and a controller having one or more processors and one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, in performing the operations, the one or more processors are configured to: receive an input indicating an engine shutdown of the turbomachine; and in response to the engine shutdown, cause the second power source to provide power to and rotate the first rotatable component.

    Abstract: An automated fiber placement assembly forms a component by the placement of separate or multiple layers of fiber tows. The automated fiber placement assembly comprises a cutter assembly defining a cut shape. A backplate is spaced from the first cutter assembly against which cutter assembly can cut the fiber tows. The fiber tows define a longitudinal axis and are fed between the first cutter assembly and the backplate in a feed direction. The cutter head assembly is rotatable and movable to vary the orientation of the cutter assembly in order to define different cut shapes non-orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
