    Abstract: An airfoil defining a chordwise dimension, a spanwise dimension, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a root, and a tip, is generally provided. The airfoil includes a first material substrate defining a pressure side and a suction side. The first material substrate defines a plurality of discrete volumes extended from at least one of the pressure side or the suction side into the first material substrate. The plurality of discrete volumes is arranged at least partially along the chordwise dimension and a second material substrate different from the first material substrate is defined at least partially within the volume.

    Abstract: A combustion engine includes a combustion section; a fuel delivery system for providing a fuel flow to the combustion section, the fuel delivery system including an oxygen reduction unit for reducing an oxygen content of the fuel flow; a thermal management system including a heat sink heat exchanger, the heat sink heat exchanger in thermal communication with the fuel delivery system at a location downstream of the oxygen reduction unit; and a control system including a sensor operable with the fuel delivery system for sensing data indicative of an operability of the oxygen reduction unit and a controller operable with the sensor, the controller configured to initiate a corrective action based on the data sensed by the sensor indicative of the operability of the oxygen reduction unit.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an aircraft including a fuselage to which a pair or more of wings attaches. The aircraft defines a transverse direction, a longitudinal direction, and a latitudinal direction. The aircraft includes a wing extended from the fuselage along the transverse direction in which the wing defines a leading edge, and a gas turbine engine coupled to the wing. The engine defines an axial centerline therethrough along the longitudinal direction. The engine includes a nacelle including an outer wall extended around the axial centerline. The nacelle defines a radial reference plane extended perpendicular from the axial centerline. The outer wall defines an outer wall point closest to the fuselage. The radial reference plane extends through a reference line defined along the latitudinal direction from the outer wall point to the leading edge of the wing. The engine further includes a low pressure (LP) turbine rotor that includes an upstream-most first turbine rotor concentric to the axial centerline. The first turbine rotor is disposed downstream along the longitudinal direction of the radial reference plane.
