Abstract (en)
A fan blade (20) has a main body (28) extending between a leading edge (21) and a trailing edge (22). Channels (30) are formed into the main body (28) from at least one open side. A plurality of ribs (28) extend across the main body (28) intermediate the channels (30). The fan blade (20) has a dovetail (24) and an airfoil (18) extending radially outwardly from the dovetail (24). The ribs (26) have a thickness defined as measured generally from the leading edge (21) toward the trailing edge (22). A thickness of at least one of the ribs (26) is generally thicker adjacent radially inner ends (42) and becomes thinner moving in a radially outward direction.
