Abstract: A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a hub disposed about an axis of rotation and an outer surface forming a radially inner gaspath boundary, the outer surface defining a nominal hub diameter. A circumferential array of blades extends radially outwardly from the hub. A first inter-blade passage is defined between a first set of adjacent blades and has a first throat area. A second inter-blade passage is defined between a second set of adjacent blades and has a second throat area that is smaller than the first throat area. At least one scoop is disposed in the second inter-blade passage, the scoop defining a cavity extending radially into the outer surface of the hub relative to the nominal hub diameter.

Abstract: A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine is described which includes sets of blades having different airfoil thickness distributions, each including a frequency modifier forming a thickness differential relative to a baseline blade thickness. The frequency modifiers provide different natural vibration frequencies for each of the blades, and facilitate modifying natural vibration frequency separation between adjacent blades of the compressor rotor.

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: A fan for a gas turbine engine comprises blades distributed around a hub. The blades include first and second blades, having geometric parameters and/or material properties that differ from each other to frequency mistune the fan. The blades are distributed about the hub with at least one second blade between adjacent first blades. The leading edge of the airfoil of the second blades is disposed axially aft of the corresponding leading edge of the first blades in at least a portion of the blade span.

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 method includes: obtaining a rotor having a hub and a plurality of blades protruding from the hub, the plurality of blades including first blades and second blades disposed in alternation around a central axis of the rotor, natural vibration frequencies of the first blades different from natural vibration frequencies of the second blades; determining that a difference between a first natural vibration frequency of a first blade of the first blades and a second natural vibration frequency of a second blade of the second blades is below a threshold; and modifying a shape of the first blade until the difference between the first natural vibration frequency and the second natural vibration frequency is at or above the threshold.

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.
