Is intervening.
- the thickness of the sheath continuously decreases toward the rear, and the thickness of the guard decreases continuously toward the front. ing.
- the thickness of the wing body in the transition section at the rear of the overlapped section is the normal value with respect to the camber line of the wing section of the fan blade.
- the pressure surface and the suction surface continuously decrease toward the front, and the sheath and the wing body, the guard and the wing body, and the sheath and the guard in the overlapping section are Are joined by adhesive layers, respectively, and an additional adhesive layer is disposed outside the guard in the transition section.
- the fan blade according to the fifth aspect of the present disclosure satisfies the following (1) or (2).
- (1) The length in the front-rear direction of the section where the rear end portion of the sheath and the front end portion of the guard overlap on the positive pressure surface is equal to or greater than the thickness of the fan blade at the rear end of the section.
- (2) The length in the front-rear direction of the section where the rear end portion of the sheath and the front end portion of the guard overlap on the suction surface is equal to or greater than the thickness of the fan blade at the rear end of the section.

Abstract
Description
(1)屈曲により生じる応力集中により、翼部本体121を構成する複合材料の表面に亀裂が生じる。また、翼部本体121を構成する複合材料が、翼部本体121の厚さ方向に積層された複数の層から成る場合には、層間剥離(隣接する層が互いに剥がれる現象)が発生する。
(2)翼部本体121のうち異物が衝突する側の面(正圧面121P)が、図4Bに示すように、発生した曲げ変形に起因して隙間Gの近傍において一時的に凸面となり、これにより、シース122及びガード123の一方または両方のうち、翼部本体121の正圧面121Pに接合された部分が剥がれ、翼部本体121の正圧面121Pから浮き上がった状態となる。
(1)オーバーラップ区間OL1の前後方向の長さをLOL1、オーバーラップ区間OL1の後端におけるファンブレード20の厚さ(図3参照)をtOL1とするとき、
LOL1≧tOL1 (式1)
(2)オーバーラップ区間OL2の前後方向の長さをLOL2、オーバーラップ区間OL2の後端におけるファンブレード20の厚さ(図3参照)をtOL2とするとき、
LOL2≧tOL2 (式2)
