Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defines an engine centerline extending a forward to an aft. A composite airfoil, provided in one of the fan section, the compressor section, or the turbine section can have a balanced mass distribution. A woven core defines a first mass distribution. A set of plies coupled to the woven core collectively defines a second mass distribution, where the second mass distribution is nearer to the balanced mass distribution than the first mass distribution.
