ABSTRACT:
An integrated fan and low pressure compressor rotor having a hub with a circumferential array of primary blades. Each primary blade has a forward fan blade portion housed in the engine inlet radially extending from the hub to the fan case and a rearward compressor blade portion housed in the core duct radially extending from the hub to the intermediate case. The fan blade portion and compressor blade portion have aerodynamically aligned lateral airfoil surfaces and platforms such that the fan blade portion and compressor blade portion have continuously merged lateral airfoil surfaces and platforms. The integrated rotor replaces two conventional rotors resulting in cost savings.
