An article comprising a substrate and at least one coating layer disposed on the substrate. The coating layer includes a silicate glass matrix, an oxygen scavenger phase dispersed through the silicate glass matrix, and at least one metal in metallic form.

A modified organic matrix composite having a thermal barrier coating comprising a substrate comprising an organic matrix composite; a roughness layer coupled to the substrate; a bonding layer coupled to the roughness layer opposite the substrate; and a thermal barrier coating coupled to the bonding layer opposite the roughness layer.

Apparatus and system for containing a rupture of a duct. The apparatus includes an air-permeable sheet, such as a wide-weave fiberglass sheet. The air-permeable sheet includes a strap arranged on a first side of the sheet such that it forms diamond-shaped patterns along a longitudinal axis. The strap can be made of a tight-weave fiberglass. Laterally-spaced corners of the diamond-shaped patterns include connection members that can be engaged to affix the strap and the air-permeable sheet around a duct. Various aspects include an air-impermeable air barrier surrounding the wide-weave fiberglass sheet and strap. The air barrier can include a window that directs air from a ruptured duct. Various aspects can be used on a bleed-air duct of an aircraft. The window of the air barrier can be aimed at a temperature sensor. A valve can close the bleed-air duct if the temperature sensor detects a high temperature leak.

The disclosure describes composite liners (such as acoustic panels, fan track liners, and/or ice impact panels or boxes for turbofan engines) and techniques for forming composite liners. In some examples, the composite liner includes at least one region comprising a reinforcement architecture comprising a matrix material, a plurality of relatively tough polymer-based reinforcement elements, and a plurality of second reinforcement elements. The plurality of relatively tough polymer-based reinforcement elements and the plurality of second reinforcement elements are embedded in the matrix material.

A blade includes an airfoil section extending between leading and trailing edges, first and second opposed sides each joining the leading and trailing edges, and an inner end and a free end. The blade also includes an abrasive tip at the free end of the airfoil section. The abrasive tip includes particles disposed in a matrix material. The matrix material is a polymeric material that has a glass transition temperature greater than or equal to about 225 degrees C. (437 degrees F.). A gas turbine engine and a method of fabricating a blade are also disclosed.

A heating element and fluid pump including that heating element. The heating element for a fluid pump comprises a substrate, preferably made of glass, in particular quartz glass, or ceramics, a thin layer of monocrystalline, polycrystalline or amorphous material provided on top of the substrate, and electrical contacts provided in contact with the thin layer, preferably made of conductive ink or an electrically-conductive paste, wherein the thin layer has a thickness equal to or smaller than 10 μm.

A turbofan having a dilution rate of at least 10 and including a fan having a disc provided with blades at the periphery thereof, a distance between the head of the blades and the housing of the fan being less than or equal to ten millimeters; a primary flow space and secondary flow space that are concentric; a turbine, housed in the primary flow space and in fluid communication with the fan; and a reduction mechanism coupling the turbine and the fan.

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 yarn extending through two parts of the shell adjacent the trailing edge, wherein the yarns do not extend through the trailing edge insert.

Rotor blades, vibrational dampening elements, and methods are provided. A rotor blade includes a platform, a shank extending radially inward from the platform, and an airfoil extending radially outward from the platform. One or more fluid chambers are defined within the rotor blade. Glass is disposed within each fluid chamber of the one or more fluid chambers. A mass is disposed within each fluid chamber of the one or more fluid chambers. The mass is movable within the glass relative to the airfoil.

A blade includes an airfoil section extending between leading and trailing edges, first and second opposed sides each joining the leading and trailing edges, and an inner end and a free end. The blade also includes an abrasive tip at the free end of the airfoil section. The abrasive tip includes particles disposed in a matrix material. The matrix material is a polymeric material that has a glass transition temperature greater than or equal to about 225 degrees C. (487 degrees F.). A gas turbine engine and a method of fabricating a blade are also disclosed.
