FAN PLATFORM FOR ELECTRICALLY GRAOUNDING AN AIRFOIL, CORRESPONDING GAS TURBINE ENGINE AND METHOD

摘要

A fan platform (40) for electrically grounding an airfoil (46) of a gas turbine engine includes a flow path surface (62) extending between a first and second side (58, 60). An inner surface (64) radially opposing the flow path surface (62) also extends between the first and second side (58, 60), and includes a body portion (69) extending radially inwardly therefrom. At least a first conductive path (90) for grounding travels from the first side (58) via the body portion (69). A corresponding method of electrically grounding an airfoil of a gas turbine engine is also provided.
