Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine centerline extending between a forward direction and an aft direction. A disk includes a slot for mounting a composite airfoil to the disk. An axial retainer couples to the disk and secures the composite airfoil to the disk. A compliant portion positioned at the composite airfoil abuts the composite airfoil during operation of the gas turbine engine to secure the composite airfoil to the disk.
