  • Airfoil with thickened root and fan and engine incorporating same
    Patent number: 10968747
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, an airfoil is disclosed. The airfoil may include a platform and a blade extending from the platform. The blade may have a root proximate the platform and a tip radially outward from the platform. The root may have a greater thickness than a cross-section at about a quarter-span of the blade or greater.
    Type: Grant

  • Gas turbine engine inlet wall design
    Patent number: 9291101
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has an inlet duct formed to have a shape with a first ellipse in one half and a second ellipse in a second half. The second half has an upstream most end which is smaller than the first ellipse. The inlet duct has a surface defining the second ellipse which curves away from the first ellipse, such that the second ellipse is larger at an intermediate location. The second ellipse is even larger at a downstream end of the inlet duct leading into a fan.
