Weight reduction of turbofan engines is one of the main concerns of aero engine manufacturers in order to cut fuel burn. To achieve higher fuel efficiency, aero engine manufacturers develop turbofans with higher bypass ratio, which can only be achieved with larger (and heavier) fan sections. This makes weight reduction in fan components a major consideration and becomes a key driver for the use of composite materials in future engines. The objective of this project is to design, perform structural analysis and optimization of a Composite fan blade. Development of a fan blade is comparable to a future large aircraft engine fan blade. This thesis is about the structural analysis of a composite fan blade with a honeycomb sandwich construction with a polymer matrix composite and honeycomb Aluminium core compared with baseline solid basic fan blade made of titanium. The focus of this work is to design the sandwich composite blade with honeycomb core and conduct static and dynamic analysis.
