A fan blade comprises interleaved plies, where interleaving comprises distributing wide plies within narrow plies and short plies within long plies in the fan blade; wherein the interleaving is defined as an actual intersection of a plurality of plies of different variable dimensions that extend in the chordwise direction with another plurality of plies of different variable dimensions that extend in the spanwise direction such that their respective longitudinal axes intersect with one another at angles of 5 to 175 degrees.

A method for forming a ceramic matrix composite component includes forming a fibrous preform of the component with a plurality of fiber layers and a fill region disposed between one or more of the plurality of fiber layers. Ceramic particles are provided in the fill region, which is densified using chemical vapor infiltration.

A composition is generally provided that includes a silicon-containing material (e.g., silicon metal and/or a silicide) and a boron-doped refractory compound, such as about 0.001% to about 85% by volume of the boron-doped refractory compound (e.g., about 1% to about 60% by volume). In one embodiment, a bond coating on a surface of a ceramic component is generally provided with the bond coating including such a composition, with the silicon-containing material is silicon metal.

A fiber-reinforced component for use in a gas turbine engine includes a first braided fiber sleeve forming a cooling channel and a plurality of fiber plies enclosing the first braided fiber sleeve, with the plurality of fiber plies forming first and second walls separated by the first braided fiber sleeve. The fiber-reinforced component further includes a matrix material between fibers of the braided fiber sleeve and the plurality of fiber plies.

A coated article including an article having a surface; an oxidation resistant bond coat layer deposited on the surface, the oxidation resistant bond coat layer comprising a metal silicide phase, a crystalline ceramic phase and an amorphous ceramic phase, wherein the metal silicide phase has an aspect ratio greater than 1:1 but less than 50:1.

A gas turbine engine article includes a ceramic body that defines a flange, first and second cooling passages partitioned from each other by the flange, a through-hole in the rib that connects the first and second cooling passages, a thermal insulation bushing that lines the through-hole.

An airfoil assembly includes first and second fiber-reinforced composite airfoil rings each having inner and outer platform sections. A sealing shelf extends from a suction side wall of one of the first and second fiber-reinforced composite airfoil rings, and towards the pressure side wall of the other of the rings. A first seal is captured radially inwardly of the sealing shelves on outer platforms of each of the first and second fiber-reinforced composite airfoil rings. A second seal is captured inward of the sealing shelves on the inner platforms of each of the first and second fiber-reinforced composite rings to provide a seal between the respective first and second fiber-reinforced composite airfoil rings, and a captured internal component. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

A turbine assembly for use with a gas turbine engine includes a bladed wheel assembly and a vane assembly. The bladed wheel assembly is adapted to interact with gases flowing through a gas path of the gas turbine engine. The vane assembly is located upstream of the bladed wheel assembly and adapted to direct the gases at the bladed wheel assembly.
