AIRFOIL WITH GALVANIC CORROSION PREVENTIVE SHIM

摘要

An airfoil includes an airfoil body made of a first metal with a leading edge, a trailing edge, pressure side and suction side; a sheath with first and second flanks made of a second metal; a first layer of non-conductive material adhesively bonded between a portion of the end of the first flank and the airfoil body and extending beyond the end of the first flank on the pressure side; and a second layer of non-conductive material adhesively between a portion of the end of the second flank and the airfoil body and extending beyond the end of the second flank on the suction side.
