Fan Hub Forging for Turbofan Engine from Japan
Large steel forging serving as the central hub for the wide-chord fan blades in modern high-bypass ratio aircraft turbofan engines like those on Boeing 787. HTS 8411.91.90.81 applies as it's a rough forging dedicated to aircraft turbojet parts, prior to final machining. Critical for transferring torque from the engine shaft to fan blades.
