Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine has a fan and a turbine having a fan drive turbine rotor. The fan drive turbine rotor drives a compressor rotor. A gear reduction effects a reduction in the speed of the fan relative to an input speed from the fan drive turbine rotor that drives the compressor rotor, and having a gear reduction ratio of greater than 2.5:1. The compressor rotor has a number of compressor blades in at least one of a plurality of rows of the compressor rotor. The blades operate at least some of the time at a rotational speed. The number of compressor blades in at least one row and the rotational speed are such that the following formula holds true for at least one row of the compressor rotor: (number of blades×rotational speed)/60 sec≧5500 Hz, and the rotational speed is in revolutions per minute. A method of designing a gas turbine engine also disclosed.
