Abstract
A compressor section includes a compressor disk having a slot receiving a blade with an airfoil extending from a platform and the compressor disk having an upstream end and a downstream end. A cover plate at one of the upstream end and the downstream end covers an area between the blade and the compressor disk across a circumference of the compressor disk. The cover plate covers an area between an inner peripheral surface of the platform to a radially innermost end of the slot in the disk. The compressor disk has hooks, and there is a retention ring mounted in a cavity between the hooks and the compressor disk. The cover plate is mounted between the retention ring and the compressor disk. The retention ring retains the cover plate against the compressor disk. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
