BLADED ROTOR FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A bladed rotor for a gas turbine engine comprising a row of blades in which each blade is tied to the next adjacent blade by a Z-shaped metal tie having a center section which is inwardly curved such that centrifugal forces acting on itself are evidenced as compressive stresses within the tie and end limbs or lugs extending from the center section in opposite directions generally chordally of the blades and each being attached to the blades by bolts spaced apart transversely of the blade, the bolts extending through the blade to also attach a similar limb or lug to the opposite blade face.
