Abstract
A method of fabricating an article includes providing an arrangement of loose nanowires, forming the loose nanowires into a gas turbine engine airfoil by depositing the loose nanowires into a mold that has a geometry of the gas turbine engine airfoil, and bonding the loose nanowires together into a unitary cellular structure that has the geometry of the gas turbine engine airfoil.
