Abstract

A locking and sealing system is disclosed for attaching a rotor blade to a rotor blade disk in a turbojet engine. The system has a first split ring member which locks the rotor blade foot portion onto the rotor blade disk. A second split ring member is inserted between the first split ring member in a downstream flange of the rotor blade foot portions to provide a positive seal to prevent air leakage between the foot portions and the notches formed in the rotor disk.
