Abstract: A fan assembly includes a disk having a disk forward surface, a disk aft surface, and a radially outer surface. The disk defines a plurality of disk posts and a plurality of disk slots in the radially outer surface. At least one of the plurality of disk posts includes a post slot. The fan assembly also includes a fan having a plurality of fan blades and a plurality of platforms extending between adjacent fan blades of the plurality of fan blades. Each of the plurality of fan blades is received within one of the plurality of disk slots via a respective blade root. Further, the fan assembly includes at least one fan retention member having a body portion and a protrusion extending from the body portion. The protrusion is received within the post slot such that the at least one fan retention member supports one of the plurality of platforms.
