Fire retardant engine casing apparatus are disclosed. An example engine casing includes an inner shell circumferentially surrounding blades of a fan, a compressor, or a turbine, an outer shell positioned around the inner shell, and a fire retardant material between the inner shell and the outer shell.

A fan blade of a gas turbine engine may include a blade body having an inner surface defining a cavity in the blade body. A blade filler may be disposed in the cavity. The blade filler may include a bump integrally formed on a first surface of the blade filler. An adhesive may be formed on the first surface of the blade filler. The first surface of the blade filler may be bonded to a fan blade component.

There is provided a blade tip for a rotary blade. The blade tip is formed of a metal foam and comprises at least one vortex generator. The vortex generator may comprise at least one passageway and/or cavity in the blade tip. In use, a vortex is created between the blade tip and a fan casing adjacent the blade tip.

An axial compressor comprises a plurality of compressor stages positioned axially adjacent each other within a casing. Each of the plurality of compressor stages includes a rotor segment and a banded stator segment. An annulus is formed between the casing and an outer flowpath ring of the banded stator segment. A pathway may be provided that establishes an air flowpath between the annulus and another annulus formed by an adjacent stage.

A composite layer system is presented. The composite layer system includes a metallic substrate, a structured surface, and a thermal protection system. The structured surface may be additively manufactured onto the metallic substrate and includes structured surface features formed to project above the metallic substrate. Each of the structured surface features are separated from adjacent structured surface features by grooves. The thermal protection coating may be thermally sprayed onto the structured surface and is bonded to each of the structured surface features.

A turbine shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a shroud wall extending circumferentially partway around a central reference axis to define a gas path of the gas turbine engine. An attachment feature extends radially from the shroud wall. A foam is located at least on the shroud wall.

An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending radially relative to a central reference axis. A spar is located within the airfoil and spaced from the airfoil at all radial locations along the airfoil such that a gap is maintained between the airfoil and the spar. A foam is located between the airfoil and the spar.

An acoustic panel for a gas turbine engine, includes a panel body, a panel-body cover, and a support bracket. The panel body is configured to dampen vibrations caused by the gas turbine engine. The forward support bracket is configured to mount the acoustic panel to portions of the gas turbine engine.

A propeller blade comprises a root, a tip distal from the root, a trailing edge extending from the root to the tip, a trailing edge, e.g. foam, insert, a shell forming an outer surface of the propeller blade and a plurality of stitches of yam extending through two parts of the shell adjacent the trailing edge, wherein the yarns do not extend through the trailing edge insert.

A blade outer airseal has a body comprising: an inner diameter (ID) surface; an outer diameter (OD) surface; a leading end; and a trailing end. The airseal body has a metallic substrate and a coating system atop the substrate along at least a portion of the inner diameter surface. At least over a first area of the inner diameter surface, the coating system comprises an abradable layer comprising a metallic matrix and a solid lubricant; and the metallic matrix comprises, by weight, ≧35% nickel, 12.0-20.0% cobalt, 5.0-15.0% aluminum, and 5.0-15.0% chromium.
