Abstract

Herein disclosed is the combination of an aerodynamic blade having a root formed with outwardly curved shoulders and a transverse curved indentation, a rotor disc formed with a blade root receiving slot having curved complementary retaining surfaces in contact with those shoulders and an elastic split metallic roll pin disposed between the indentation and disc to provide damping, the radii of the curved shoulders and retaining surfaces being generated from an axis below said indentation.
