Low hub-to-tip ratio fan for a turbofan gas turbine engine |
摘要 |
A fan for a turbofan gas turbine engine, the fan comprising a rotor hub and a plurality of radially extending fan blades integral with the hub to form an integrally bladed rotor. Each fan blade defines a leading edge. A hub radius (RHUB) is the radius of the leading edge at the hub relative to a centerline of the fan. A tip radius (RTIP) is the radius of the leading edge at a tip of the fan blade relative to the centerline of the fan. The ratio of the hub radius to the tip radius (RHUB/RTIP) is at least less than 0.29. In a particular embodiment, this ratio is between 0.25 and 0.29. In another particular embodiment, this ratio is less than or equal to 0.25. |

1. A fan for a turbofan gas turbine engine, the fan comprising a rotor hub and a plurality of fan blades arranged in a single blade row on the rotor hub, the fan blades radially extending from and being integral with the hub to form an integrally bladed rotor, each of the fan blades of the single blade row having a leading edge, a hub radius (RHUB) which is the radius of the leading edge at the hub relative to a centerline of the fan, and a tip radius (RTIP) which is the radius of the leading edge at a tip of the fan blade relative to the centerline of the fan, and wherein the ratio of the hub radius to the tip radius (RHUB/RTIP) is than 0.29. |
