Abstract: A fan blade includes a lattice structure, a fill, and a structural wrap. The lattice structure defines an airfoil body that has a cavity. The lattice structure defines at least one spar that extends radially from a root of the airfoil body towards a tip of the airfoil body. The fill is disposed within the cavity. The structural wrap is disposed about the lattice structure. The structural wrap defines a plurality of plies that extend from a leading edge of the airfoil body towards a trailing edge of the airfoil body.

Abstract: A nacelle for a gas turbine engine, the nacelle includes an inlet axially forward of a fan section. The inlet includes an interior surface. A leading edge includes an inlet cavity. A first conduit communicates airflow to the inlet cavity for preventing accretion of ice on the leading edge. An inlet duct is open to the interior surface aft of the inlet cavity. A second conduit is in fluid communication with the first conduit and the inlet duct. The second conduit communicates airflow to the inlet duct for generating film heating airflow over the interior surface for preventing ice accretion. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil that has 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 extends between a tip portion and the root section in a radial direction, and the airfoil section defining a pressure side and a suction side separated in a circumferential direction. A platform includes a first and second platform portions attached to the root section. Each of the first and second platform portions includes a shoe section and a platform section extending in the circumferential direction from the shoe section to establish a gas path surface, and the shoe sections of the first and second platforms are circumferentially arranged on opposed sides of the root section to capture the root section in a root cavity established between the shoe sections. A method of assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan rotor having fan blades received within an outer nacelle, and the outer nacelle having an inner surface. At least a portion of the nacelle inner surface extends radially inwardly to be radially inward of an outer diameter of the fan blades. The inner surface of the nacelle is formed with a trench, which extends into the inner surface to a radially outer extent that is spaced radially outward of the outer diameter of the fan blades.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a liner disposed around a flowpath. The liner has a forward end, a radially outer surface, and a radially inner surface. A hole extends axially into the forward end of the liner between the radially outer surface and the radially inner surface, and an engagement member is partially disposed in the hole and extends axially forward from the forward end of the liner.
