The fan also includes a deformable spacer situated between the rotor hub and the blade root in the slot, a first blade lock situated at a first side of the slot, and a second blade lock situated at a second side of the slot opposite the first side. At least one of the first and second blade locks includes a tab configured to extend between the blade root and the rotor hub and to compress the spacer such that the spacer exerts a force on the blade in the first direction.
