US Patent 11927108 Integrated bladed rotor

An integrated bladed rotor of a gas turbine engine is provided. The integrated bladed rotor includes a hub having a rotation axis and a radially outer platform relative to the rotation axis, and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the outer platform of the hub. The blades are integrally formed with the hub to define a monolithic component with the hub. Two or more of the blades each include: an airfoil including a groove formed in an outer surface of the airfoil to mitigate crack propagation, and a root fillet providing a transition between the outer platform of the hub and the airfoil.
