US Patent 11753951 Rotor assembly for gas turbine engines

A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotatable hub that has a main body and an array of annular flanges that extend about an outer periphery of the main body to define an array of annular channels. An array of airfoils are circumferentially distributed about the outer periphery. Each one of the airfoils includes an airfoil section extending from a root section received in the annular channels. Retention pins extend through the root section of a respective one of the airfoils and through the array of annular flanges to mechanically attach each root section to the hub.
