A gas turbine engine fan blade assembly.

摘要

A stage of fan blades (12) in a ducted fan gas turbine engine (10) have the spaces between them filled by a rotary annulus wall filler (16), which has a leading portion (16a) made from metal and a trailing portion (16b) made from a composite material. The leading portion (16a) forming an integral part of the rotor disc (14). The metal portion (16a) resists the impact damage from the ingress of foreign bodies and the trailing portion (16b) provides a lighter structure. <IMAGE>
