Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes: a turbomachine having a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the compressor section having a high pressure compressor defining a high pressure compressor exit area (AHPCExit) in square inches; wherein the gas turbine engine defines a redline exhaust gas temperature (EGT) in degrees Celsius, a total sea level static thrust output (FnTotal) in pounds, and a corrected specific thrust, wherein the corrected specific thrust is greater than or equal to 42 and less than or equal to 90, the corrected specific determined as follows: FnTotal×EGT/(AHPCExit2×1000).

Abstract: A composite airfoil having a non-metallic leading edge protective wrap is provided. In one aspect, the airfoil has a composite core having a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall each extending between a core leading edge and a core trailing edge. A leading edge protective wrap protects the core leading edge and includes a trailing wrap and a leading wrap. The trailing wrap wraps around the core leading edge and is connected to the composite core. The leading wrap wraps around the core leading edge and is connected to the trailing wrap. The trailing and leading wraps both have leading edges that are spaced from one another. A filler is positioned between the leading edges of the trailing and leading wraps. A protective nose is connected to the leading edge of the leading wrap. The components of the leading edge protective wrap are formed of non-metallic materials.

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.
