A method is provided involving a fairing for a turbine engine. During this method, a detail is provided. The detail includes a carrier and an exterior layer bonded to the carrier. The carrier is configured from or otherwise includes fiber-reinforced composite material. The exterior layer is configured from or otherwise includes polymer material. The detail is arranged with the fairing. The fairing includes an exterior side and an edge. The detail covers and extends along at least a portion of the exterior side. The detail wraps at least partially around the edge. The carrier and at least a first overhang portion of the exterior layer are bonded to the fairing.

Disclosed is a method of repairing a rear cone segment erosion coating including removing a portion of an existing fluoroelastomer coating from a rear cone segment to form a repair area; forming a cured replacement erosion coating corresponding to the repair area, wherein the cured replacement erosion coating has a layer of fluoroelastomer and a layer of fibrous reinforcement; preparing the repair area and the cured replacement erosion coating for adhesion; locating the prepared cured replacement erosion coating on the prepared repair area; and adhering the prepared cured replacement erosion coating to the prepared repair area. Also disclosed is a cured replacement erosion coating and a repaired inlet nose cone.

Fluoroelastomer erosion coating repair

A hybrid abradable seal including a stator substrate having an external surface; a casing coupled to the external surface, the casing including radial walls extending radially from the external surface; an abradable material disposed within the casing; the abradable material and the casing being coupled together and configured to resist a deflection responsive to engine gas loads.

Low density hybrid knife seal

A method of sealing a first component to a second component comprising the steps of locating at least one fiber reinforced polyimide resin layer against a first sealing surface on a first component and against a second sealing surface on a second component. At least one fiber reinforced polyimide resin layer is compressed against the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface prior to curing at least one fiber reinforced polyimide resin layer. At least one fiber reinforced polyimide resin layer is heated to promote flow and conformation to the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface. At least one fiber reinforced polyimide resin layer is cured to provide a fluid tight seal between the first component and the second component.

High temperature composite seal

A method of making an assembly is disclosed. According to the method, a curable sealant is applied to a metal surface of a first article, and the curable sealant and first article are stored under conditions to maintain the curable sealant in an at least partially uncured state. The method further includes contacting the curable sealant on the first article metal surface with an electrically conductive surface of a second article, and curing the curable sealant.
