Abstract:
A method of sizing a heat exchanger for a geared architecture gas turbine engine includes sizing a minimum frontal area of at least one heat exchanger located in communication with a fan bypass airflow such that a ratio of waste heat area to horsepower generation characteristic area is between 1.6 to 8.75.

Abstract:
An air foil includes a body and a filler. The body may include a chamber formed therein and includes a first metallic material. The filler may at least partially occupy the chamber of the body and may include a second metallic material. The second metallic material may have a comparatively more negative electrode potential than the first metallic material.
