FAN BLADE TALL DOVETAIL FOR INDIVIDUALLY BLADED ROTORS

摘要

A fan blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil that defines a pressure and suction side. A neck supports the airfoil and interconnects to a dovetail by opposing radii. The dovetail includes a bearing surface tangent to one of the radii at a tangent point. The dovetail has a dovetail width and a vertical bearing surface height from the tangent point to a bottom of the dovetail opposite the neck. A first ratio of the dovetail width to the vertical bearing surface height is in a range of substantially between 2.32 to 2.90.
