A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes a blade extending from a root and a contoured tip portion at a first end of the blade. The first end is opposite the root. The contoured tip portion includes a first sloped region and a second sloped region. The second sloped region is steeper than the first sloped region, relative to a platform.

Rotor blade for a gas turbine engine

A gas turbine engine includes first and second structures secured to one another at a bolted flange joint. A seal is supported by a third structure. A cover is arranged over the bolted flange joint and discrete from the first and second structures. The cover provides a seal land that engages the piston seal and protects the first structure from the adverse thermal environment.

A rotor includes a rotor hub that is rotatable about an axis. The rotor hub includes a bore portion and a rim. An arm extends axially and radially inwardly from the rim. The arm has a radially inner side, a radially outer side, and a protruding ramp on the radially outer side.

A stage of a fan for a gas turbine engine may include a rotor blade and a stator vane disposed aft of the rotor blade. A baffle may be coupled to the stator vane. The baffle may define a secondary airflow path from aft of the stator vane to forward of the rotor blade. The baffle may further define the secondary airflow path from aft of the stator vane to forward of the stator vane.

An airfoil includes a stator vane that has a platform with a first radial side and a second radial side, and a platform axial leading end and a platform axial trailing end. An airfoil portion extends radially outwardly from the first side. The platform axial trailing end includes a rear axial face that extends from the first radial side and a radially sloped face that extends from the rear axial face to the second radial side.
