Abstract

See full text

A fan blade retention device includes a collar (13) inserted into a circumferential groove (14) cut into the hub (6) of a turbofan engine. The outward facing groove (14) is positioned aft of the fan blade fixing channel (15). When the fan blade root (11) is completely received within the blade fixing channel (15), the blade root (11) contacts the collar (13) and is prevented from traveling further aft. If the collar 13 is segmented, an annular rear cover plate (19) holds the segmented collar (13) radially within the groove (14).
