  • VARIABLE PITCH FAN OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
    Publication number: 20240133301
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine comprising a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. A fan defining a fan axis and comprising a plurality of fan blades is rotatable about the fan axis. A pitch change mechanism is operable with the plurality of fan blades to control a pitch of the plurality of fan blades. A counterweight is connected to each respective fan blade. A spring mechanism is operably associated with each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades to create a spring twisting moment on the respective fan blade that is counter to a centrifugal twisting moment of the respective fan blade.
