MULTI-MATERIAL VANE FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

Abstract:

A multi-material vane includes an airfoil extending longitudinally between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil extends spanwise between an inner end and an outer end. The airfoil extends laterally between a first side and a second side. The airfoil includes a base section, a first side section, a second side section and a sheath. The base section extends along the span line between the inner end and the outer end. The base section is laterally between the first side section and the second side section. The first side section is connected to the base section and partially forms the first side of the airfoil. The second side section is connected to the base section and partially forms the second side of the airfoil. The sheath at least partially forming an edge of the airfoil. The edge is the leading edge or the trailing edge of the airfoil.
