Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine bladed component, such as a turbine blade, is shown as including a shroud located above a blade portion and a stiffener located above the shroud. The stiffener is generally located in a central interior region of the shroud and includes a raised portion that extends above a top surface of the shroud. In one non-limiting form the stiffener can have a central ridge that is oriented in an axial direction. Seal members can be included in the shroud that can be used to interact with corresponding seal members in static gas turbine engine structure to discourage a flow of fluid. In one form the shroud includes an upturned leading edge portion.
