A fluid-washed assembly for an axial flow machine, such as a fan blade assembly for a gas turbine engine. The assembly has an array of members circumferentially spaced about the machine axis, each member extending from a radially inner end to a radially outer end with respect to the axis of rotation of the machine. Each member has opposing outer surfaces extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge thereof with respect to the direction of oncoming fluid flow in use. A plurality of annulus fillers are provided between each member, wherein each annulus filler is affixed against an outer surface of an associated member at a location between the inner and outer ends in a manner which supports the annulus filler in use. In preferred embodiments, the annulus fillers comprise a composite material which is bonded to the associated member using an adhesive. |
