Abstract: A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section and a root section extending along a longitudinal direction between an upstream surface and a downstream surface. The root section further extends along a radial direction between an inner surface positioned at an inner end of the root section and an outer end coupled to the airfoil section. Moreover, the root section extends along a circumferential direction between a first side surface and a second side surface. Furthermore, the root section defines a longitudinal centerline extending along the longitudinal direction and positioned equidistant from the inner surface and the outer end in the radial direction. The root section includes a first portion formed from a composite material and a second portion formed from a metallic material, with the longitudinal centerline extending through the second portion of the root section.

Abstract: A blade for a propulsion apparatus. The blade includes a body having opposed pressure and suction sides. The blade extends in span between a root and a tip and the blade extends in chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a fracture structure that is defined within the body and positioned such that it is spaced-away from the tip. The fracture structure includes at least one chamber. A first fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the pressure side, and a second fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the suction side. The fracture structure is configured to fail when a predetermined force is applied to the tip such that the tip separates from the remainder of the body.
