Gas turbine engine blade containment assembly

摘要

A turbofan gas turbine engine (10) comprises a fan rotor (32) carrying a plurality of radially extending fan blades (34). A fan blade containment assembly (38) surrounds the fan blades (34) and the fan blade containment assembly (34) comprises a generally annular, or frustoconical, cross-section casing (52). At least one corrugated sheet metal ring surrounds the casing (52) wherein the corrugations extend with axial and/or circumferential components.
