Abstract
A gas turbine has a rotor blade. The rotor blade has a blade root connected to an airfoil. The blade root has a root contour with respect to a cross-sectional view. From a lower end of the blade root, the blade root contour has convex contour portions and concave contour portions. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a convex contour portion and an adjoining concave contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is load-bearing. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a concave contour portion and an adjoining convex contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is not load-bearing in operation. At least one of the concave contour portions has a first arc portion, a second arc portion, and a straight portion disposed between the two arc portions.
