Abstract:
An annulus filler for mounting to a rotor disc of a gas turbine engine is provided to bridge the gap between adjacent blades. A first part is connectable to the rotor disc between adjacent blades. There is a separate second part that engages with the first part after connecting the rotor blades to the rotor disc. When installed, the filler is spaced from each blade by a respective clearance gap (G), and an operational configuration in which it contacts each of said blades. Engagement of the second part with the first part is effective to urge the first part from said installation configuration to said operational configuration and thus into blade contact. The first part may have a mounting region for connection to the rotor disc and allow, in said first step of said procedure, the mounting region to remain visible from a radially outer viewpoint.
