An aerofoil (35) for example a fan blade (26) comprises a leading edge (36), a trailing edge (38), a concave pressure surface extending (40) from the leading edge (36) to the trailing edge (38) and a convex suction surface (42) extending from the leading edge (36) to the trailing edge (38). The aerofoil (35) comprises a metal foam (50) arranged within a cavity defined by metal workpieces (52, 54). The metal foam (50) of the aerofoil (26) ideally has a density of less than 1g/cm3, is cheaper to manufacture and has improved fatigue behaviour and impact capability. |
