Abstract
A blade for a gas turbine engine includes a shank interconnecting a root and a platform, and an airfoil extending radially from the shank. The shank includes a pocket with the platform overhanging the pocket. A rail extends axially along a lateral edge of the platform and extends radially inward from the platform in a direction opposite the airfoil. A gusset extends from an underside of the platform facing the pocket and in a circumferential direction between the rail and the shank.
