Abstract
A fan platform for electrically grounding an airfoil of a gas turbine engine includes a flow path surface extending between a first and second side. An inner surface radially opposing the flow path surface also extends between the first and second side, and includes a body portion extending radially inwardly therefrom. At least a first conductive path for grounding travels from the first side via the body portion.
