Abstract
An assembly is provided for an aircraft powerplant. This powerplant assembly includes a bladed rotor and a stationary structure. The bladed rotor is rotatable about an axis. The bladed rotor includes a rotor disk and a plurality of rotor blades. The rotor disk includes a web and a rim with a concave disk surface at an inside corner between the web and the rim. The concave disk surface has a disk surface sectional geometry in a reference plane parallel with the axis. The rotor blades are arranged circumferentially around and project radially out from the rim. The stationary structure includes a lip with a convex lip surface. The convex lip surface is next to the concave disk surface. The convex lip surface has a lip surface sectional geometry in the reference plane that matches the disk surface sectional geometry.
