A clip to connect a blade to a rotor disk, the blade with a root and a tip in a spanwise direction, and a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction, the root with a bottom surface, includes a locking mechanism shaped to engage a complementary slot extending into the bottom surface of the blade root in the spanwise direction; a support connected to the locking mechanism extending the length of the bottom surface of the root in the chordwise direction; and first and second arms extending radially inward converging in an axial direction so that the arms are closer at their distal ends to engage the rotor disk.
