Abstract: A method of fabricating a fan case for a gas turbine engine defines a metallic ring including an outer surface and an inner surface. A first composite material is assembled about the outer surface of the metallic ring. A second composite material is assembled about the first composite material. The first composite material and the second material are cured about the metallic ring within a tool to form a first subassembly. The first subassembly is removed from the tool. A fan case assembly for a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system, and a device to provide a wearable desk fan having a base to facilitate selective positioning of a fan housing to provide varied air flow paths to a user. In one aspect, the wearable desk fan includes a rotatable fan cage having a plurality of rotating blades to create a current of air, a mounting bracket to affix the rotatable fan cage at an end of plurality of wishbone arms, and a base handle coupled with the mounting bracket to allow folding of the base handle forming its base. A hinge joint and a beveled plate at the end of plurality of wishbone arms enable revolving and tilting of the rotatable fan cage. The mounting bracket may have a loop to attach a lanyard to enable hanging of the fan around a neck of the user.
