    Abstract: An airfoil according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil section extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction and extending between a tip portion and a root section in a spanwise direction. The airfoil section defines pressure and suction sides separated in a thickness direction, and includes a sheath having first and second sheath portions extending along an airfoil body of the airfoil section. The first sheath portion includes a first interface portion, and the second sheath portion includes a second interface portion that cooperates with the first interface portion to establish a joint having a circuitous profile along an edge of the airfoil body. A method of assembly for an airfoil is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A mechanical joint is provided between a first component and a second component. The mechanical joint includes a flanged retainer and a fastener. The flanged retainer includes a base and a flange. The base includes a bore and a counterbore that extends longitudinally along a centerline into the base from a longitudinal end of the base to the bore. The flange extends radially out from and circumferentially about the base at the longitudinal end of the base. The flange longitudinally engages the first component and the base projects longitudinally through the aperture and longitudinally engages the second component. The fastener includes an anchor and a shaft. The anchor is seated within the counterbore. The shaft projects longitudinally from the anchor, through the bore, and at least to the second component.

    Abstract: A grounding clip for an organic matrix composite guide vane with a metallic sheath comprises the organic matrix composite guide vane includes a body having a leading edge and a trailing edge opposite the leading edge and a root end extending between the leading end edge and the trailing edge. The metallic sheath is attached proximate the leading edge and extends to the root end. A metallic attachment fitting has a receiver configured to receive the root end of the organic matrix composite guide vane for coupling the organic matrix composite guide vane to the metallic attachment fitting. The grounding clip is coupled to the sheath proximate the root end; wherein the grounding clip is electrically connected to the metallic attachment fitting and the metallic sheath.
