A method of loading and locking a plurality of tangential rotor blades is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a disk having a slot and a pair of rails adjacent the slot, positioning a first snap seal in a desired location over the slot and the rails, radially loading a first blade having a platform into the slot and rotating the blade, and positioning the first blade adjacent the snap seal so that a portion of the snap seal slides under the platform. The rotor blades preferably have an attachment part which comprises a circular neck and a dovetail portion having two ends and upper and lower chamfered edges at each of the ends.
