  • Method for applying a fluid material in joint regions around an airfoil
    Patent number: 6159545
    Abstract: Material in fluid form is applied to a region where a joint is to be formed between an airfoil and an adjacent structure by simultaneously directing streams of the material into the joint region on the suction side of the airfoil and into the joint region on the pressure side of the airfoil. The material may be so applied using a syringe type applicator that has a nozzle with a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is in flow communication with a source of the material and the suction side surface of the airfoil. The second arm is flow communication with a source of the material and the pressure side surface of the airfoil. Applying the material simultaneously to the joint regions on the suction side and the pressure side of the airfoil reduces the amount of time and effort needed to apply such material.
