Title: Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blades and methods of forming CMC turbine blades

Abstract

A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blade includes a root region, a narrowed neck region extending from the root region, and a hub region extending from the narrowed neck region. At least one central CMC ply extending from the root region is interwoven with at least one insert extending toward the narrowed neck region from the hub region. A method of forming a CMC turbine blade includes interweaving at least one central CMC ply extending from the root region with at least one insert extending toward the narrowed neck region from the hub region. The CMC turbine blade includes a root region, a narrowed neck region extending from the root region, and a hub region extending from the narrowed neck region.
