Method of manufacture of compressor rotor assembly

摘要

A compressor rotor assembly comprises a shaft and at least one disc having integral radially extending aerofoil blades which disc is integral with the shaft. The assembly comprises a matrix material in which a plurality of short reinforcing fibres are so disposed that the majority thereof within the shaft are generally axially aligned while the majority thereof within the aerofoil blades are generally radially aligned. At least one filament wound support ring provides radial support for the aerofoil blades.
