Right after finishing college, I applied for an opening they had for an illustrator. I did a little research to find out what they were and IIRC, CFAN was a consortium formed by GE, Snecma and (maybe?) RR to explore cf use in aerospace engines. It has just been there so long I figured that by now, more than one type of engine would have carbon blades.

Blades aren't their only biz according to their site. They do ducting etc...
