  • ENGINE AIRFOIL METAL EDGE
    Publication number: 20230340885
    Abstract: A method of electroforming an airfoil comprising an airfoil body. The method comprising electroforming a metal edge shell over a filler, located at a leading edge of the airfoil body, and over the airfoil body. The filler can be encapsulated within the metal edge shell and the metal edge shell has a sculpted leading edge defining a non-linear pattern.
