Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, a turbofan engine comprises a fan section. A core section includes a turbine section arranged fluidly downstream from the compressor section. A combustor is arranged fluidly between the compressor and turbine sections. The fan and core sections are configured to produce a thrust in a range 27,000-35,000 pounds-f (120,102-156,688 N). An airfoil is arranged in the fan section. The airfoil has first and second modes each having a frequency. The first mode has the lowest frequency, and the second mode has the second lowest frequency wherein the second mode frequency is 140 Hz or less at a redline engine speed.
