    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 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: 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.
