Abstract: A fan for a gas turbine engine includes: an annular casing; a disk disposed inside the casing and mounted for rotation about an axial centerline, the disk including a row of fan blades extending radially outwardly therefrom; each of the fan blades including an airfoil having circumferentially opposite pressure and suction sides extending radially in span from a root to a tip, and extending axially in chord between spaced-apart leading and trailing edges, with the airfoils defining corresponding flow passages therebetween for pressurizing air; the row including no more than 21 and no less than 13 of the fan blades; and wherein each of the fan blades has a solidity defined by a ratio of the airfoil chord over a circumferential pitch of the fan blades, measured at 60% of a radial distance from the root to the tip, of less than about 1.6.

Abstract: A containment structure comprising an annular structure configured to provide close tolerance to a rotation structure. The containment structure includes a first abradable structure, a second abradable structure, and a shroud that is defined in part by the first abradable structure and in part by the second abradable structure. An annular surface of the shroud is defined by the first abradable structure and by the second abradable structure. The first abradable structure is harder than the second abradable structure.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage; a wing coupled to, and extending from, the fuselage; and a hybrid-electric propulsion system. The hybrid-electric propulsion system includes a power source including a combustion engine and an electric generator; a plurality of vertical thrust electric fans integrated into the wing and oriented to generate thrust along the vertical direction, the plurality of vertical thrust electric fans arranged along a length of the wing and driven by the power source; and a forward thrust propulsor. The forward thrust propulsor it is selectively or permanently mechanically coupled to the combustion engine.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage; a wing coupled to, and extending from, the fuselage; and a propulsion system. The propulsion system includes a plurality of electric fans integrated into the wing and oriented to generate thrust along a vertical direction, the plurality of electric fans arranged along a length of the wing and including an outer-most electric fan along a transverse direction relative to the fuselage. The outer-most electric fan is at least one of a variable pitch fan or a variable speed fan to provide increased stability to the aircraft.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing negative incidence of an airfoil are provided. The apparatus includes a row of vane pairs including a first row of main vanes extending radially inwardly from a stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a first axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a second row of auxiliary vanes extending radially inwardly from the stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a second axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a flow channel defined between a pressure side of each auxiliary vane and a suction side of an adjacent main vane proximate a leading edge of the adjacent main vane.
