Abstract

The top portion of a composite (boron filament/aluminum matrix) blade which is useable in a fluid flow machine is made more resistant to impact energy by forming a cavity in the boron filament layer of the tip portion of each laminate (or ply) of the blade, then filling each cavity with a resin, and then bonding together the laminates with the resin-filled cavities therein.
