Abstract

A blade for use with a gas turbine engine includes an attachment and an airfoil. The airfoil further includes a suction side wall configured to be exposed to less pressure than the pressure side wall during operation of the gas turbine engine. The blade also includes a plurality of intersecting ribs transitioning from an airfoil cross sectional geometry to an attachment cross section geometry.
