Abstract: A balancing weight is disclosed. The balancing weight is engageable in a hole defined in a rotor, the hole having a predetermined cross-sectional dimension. The balancing weight comprises: a head having a predetermined weight, and a shank extending axially from the head. The shank includes at least two portions expandable in a direction transverse to a hole engagement direction between a first position in which a cross-sectional dimension of the shank is less than the predetermined cross-sectional dimension of the hole and a second position in which the cross-sectional dimension of the shank is greater than the predetermined cross-sectional dimension of the hole in the rotor. A method for installing a balancing weight to an engine rotor is also disclosed.

Abstract: A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine has blades circumferentially distributed around and extending a span length from a central hub. The blades include alternating first and second blades having airfoils with corresponding geometric profiles. The airfoil of the first blade has a coating varying in thickness relative to the second blade to provide natural vibration frequencies different between the first and the second blades.

Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine engine. The rotor includes blades circumferentially distributed around a hub. The blades have airfoils with a span defined between a root and tip, a chord defined between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a thickness defined between a pressure side surface and suction side surface. The blades include first blades and second blades. The airfoil of the first blades has a first thickness distribution defining a first natural vibration frequency of the airfoils of the first blades. The airfoil of the second blades has a second thickness distribution defining a second natural vibration frequency different than the first natural vibration frequency. The first thickness distribution is different than the second thickness distribution along a radially-inner half of the span, and the first thickness distribution matches the second thickness distribution along a radially-outer half of the span.

Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine engine comprises a rotor having a hub and blades around the hub, and extending from the hub to tips. The tips include first and second tip portions between their respective tip leading edge and tip trailing edge. Tips are spaced from a rotational axis of the rotor by spans. A mean span of a first tip portion of a first blade is greater than a mean span of a corresponding first tip portion of a second blade. A mean span of a second tip portion the first blade is less than a mean span of a corresponding second tip portion of the second blade.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine comprises at least three successive sections defined between a root and a tip. A first decrease of maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the root and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at a first spanwise position, a second decrease of the maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between the maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the first spanwise position and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at a second spanwise position, a third decrease of the maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between the maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the second spanwise position and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the tip, the second decrease being greater than the corresponding first and third decreases.

Abstract: An airfoil in a gas turbine engine includes opposed pressure and suction sides joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges. The pressure and suction sides extend spanwise from a root to a tip of the airfoil. The airfoil has a spanwise distribution of maximum thicknesses of chordwise cross-sections of the airfoil. The spanwise distribution of maximum thicknesses decreases from the root to the tip. In one aspect, the spanwise distribution is stepped between a first portion extending from the root and a second portion extending to the tip.

Abstract: A compressor rotor airfoil in a gas turbine engine is presented. Opposed pressure and suction sides are joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges. The pressure and suction sides extend in a span direction from a root to a tip. A leading edge dihedral angle is defined at a point on the leading edge between a tangent to the airfoil and a vertical. The leading edge dihedral angle has a span-wise distribution. The distribution has at least one inflection point. A method of reducing a rub angle between a compressor rotor blade and a casing surrounding the blade is also presented.
