Abstract:
A fan section for a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The fan may include a rotor disk and a plurality of airfoils fixedly attached to and supported by the rotor disk as a single unitary piece. The airfoils may extend radially outward from the rotor disk with respect to an engine axis. The rotor disk may be made of metal and the airfoils may each be made at least partially of an organic matrix composite.
