A gas turbine engine fan blade (26) comprises a root portion (40) and an aerofoil portion (42). The aerofoil portion (42) has a leading edge (44), a trailing edge (46), a concave metal wall portion (50) extending from the leading edge (44) to the trailing edge (46) and a convex metal wall portion (52) extending from the leading edge (44) to the trailing edge (46). The aerofoil portion (42) has a hollow interior (54) and the interior (54) of the aerofoil portion (42) is at least partially filled with a vibration damping material (56). The vibration damping material (56) comprises a material having viscoelasticity for example one formed by mixing an amine terminated polymer and bisphenol a-epichlorohydrin epoxy resin. |
