IN-SITU AIRFOIL CONTOURING TOOL

摘要

A tool (10) for in-situ airfoil contouring is provided. The tool (10) has a pathway (20) for an airfoil edge wherein the edge movement is limited and further wherein the edge is exposed to a grinding structure (40) having a preselected shape therein. The tool (10) makes this contouring process available for airfoils without the necessary of removing the airfoils from, for example, an aircraft engine.
