Abstract
A blade assembly for use in an axial flow compressor or turbine. The blade assembly includes a disc provided with a circumferential blade root retaining channel in its periphery and an annular array of aerofoil blades having roots located in the channel so that gaps are defined between adjacent roots. Each root is provided with two circumferentially extending sealing skirts which are arranged so that they cooperate with the blade roots to define an annular sealing surface which is in operation in sealing engagement with an annular portion of the internal surface of the root retaining channel.
