Abstract
An airfoil assembly has an airfoil portion. The airfoil portion extends between a root and a tip in a spanwise direction a span length. The airfoil portion extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction a chord length. The airfoil assembly includes a cap overlaying a portion of the outer wall. The cap extends between a cap fore edge and a cap aft edge a cap chord length. The cap extends between a cap root and a cap tip a cap span length.
Claims20
An airfoil assembly comprising:
- an airfoil portion having an outer wall, the airfoil portion extending a span length (Ls) between a root and a tip in a spanwise direction, and a chord length (Lc) between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction;
- and
- a cap overlying a portion of the outer wall and extending a cap chord length (Lcc1) between a cap fore edge and a cap aft edge in the chordwise direction, and a cap span length (Lcs1) between a cap root edge and a cap tip edge in the spanwise direction;
- wherein:
- the cap fore edge extends a cap fore edge span length (Lcsf1);
- the cap aft edge extends a cap aft edge span length (Lcsa1);
- and
- the cap aft edge span length (Lcsa1) is greater than or equal to the cap fore edge span length (Lcsf1) (Lcsa1≥Lcsf1).
