Abstract:
A removable fan blade of a turbofan engine includes a blade root at one end thereof. A rotor disk has a retention slot having dimensions corresponding for receiving the root of the fan blade in the slot. An elongated resilient member extends within the retention slot in a lengthwise direction between the root of the fan blade and the bottom of the retention slot and an elongated member extends lengthwise between the root of the fan blade and the elastomeric member to compress the resilient member and provide a radial preload to the fan blade.
