Abstract

Blade platforms (26) for compressor blades with airfoils (22) in high solidity relationship have edges of a major portion (44) a minor portion (46), and a canted intermediate portion (48). Minimum clearance (54) exists between the major portions (44) whereby twisting during stackup or operation is avoided. A circumferential seal (60, 64) is located under the platform coincident with major portion (44).
