    Abstract: A method for forming a blade for a gas turbine engine may include forming a suction side sheath and a pressure side sheath, a first cavity and a second cavity established on opposed sides of a rib, forming a structural core configured for positioning in an interior section of the blade between the suction side sheath and the pressure side sheath, the structural core including a first core member, a second core member and a root interconnecting the first and second core members, assembling the suction side sheath and the pressure side sheath with the structural core such that the first core member is positioned in the first cavity and such that the second core member is positioned in the second cavity, and securing the suction side sheath to the pressure side sheath to form the blade.

    Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil including an airfoil section extending from a root section. The airfoil section extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction and extending between a tip portion and the root section in a radial direction. The airfoil section defines a pressure side and a suction side separated in a circumferential direction. A root mount includes first and second mount members secured to circumferentially opposed sides of the root section. Arcuate circumferential faces of the first and second mount members are dimensioned to pivotably mount the root section to a hub in an installed position. A method of assembly is also disclosed.
