<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent detachment of protective leading edge strips from airfoil leading edges and to minimize damage to downstream engine components in the event of detachment. <P>SOLUTION: This airfoil has a concave pressure side (70), a convex suction side (72) defining a chord length, and a leading edge (74) and a trailing edge (76). The leading edge protective strip (80) is adhered by a bond layer (82) to and protectively covers the leading edge (74) and respective predetermined positions of the pressure side (70) and suction side (72) of the airfoil body from the leading edge (74) downstream towards the trailing edge (76). The predetermined portion of the suction side (72) covered by the leading edge protective strip (80) is less than the predetermined portion of the pressure side (70) covered by the leading edge protective strip (80). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
