ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine having an outer annular turbine rotor, which is counterrotatable relative to an inner annular turbine rotor, includes attachment structure for attaching turbine blades in circumferential rows to the inner rotor. The attachment structure includes first and second male members of hook-like configurations spaced axially along and circumferentially extending about the rotor, and first and second grooves defined by flanges attached to the rotor and axially spaced along and circumferentially extending about the rotor. The grooves open in a common axial direction for receiving in mated relation respectively and concurrently the hook-like configured first and second male members. The attachment structure also includes several different locking arrangements for locking the male members in mated relation with the grooves to thereby restrain the turbine blade against radial and axial movements relative to the rotor. Some locking arrangements are adapted for locking all of the blades but a last or final one thereof in a circumferential row around the rotor. Other locking arrangements are adapted for locking all of the blades in the circumferential row. Still other locking arrangements are adapted for locking only the last or final blade to complete the circumferential row of blades.
