Abstract: The invention relates to a compressor blade of a compressor which, along a main axis, comprises a blade base, a platform area and an adjacent blade profile having a profile tip. The blade profile is configured by a convex wall at the suction end and a concave wall at the pressure end opposite the wall at the suction end. These surfaces extend, with respect to a flow medium, from a leading edge to a trailing edge, a profile center line extending in the center between the two. A front face is arranged on the profile tip at an angle to the main axis, a sealing lip at least partially extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and the blade profile including the sealing lip having a blade profile height extending in the direction of the main axis. In order to allow for an inexpensive compressor blade having improved aerodynamic properties and a modified sealing lip while having the same sealing properties, the height of the sealing lip is less than 2 percent of the height of the blade profile.

Abstract: A turbine rotor is provided. The turbine rotor has a plurality of blades assembled into blade rows and arranged on a turbine disk. Each blade has a blade root arranged in a blade retaining slot of the turbine disk extending in an axial direction. A locking plate is arranged between the respective blade root and a base of the blade retaining slot, for securing blades against a displacement along the blade retaining slot. The locking plate is fixed to the turbine disk by folds. The locking plate comprises a plurality of cooling air holes for the passage of cooling medium from a cooling air feed passage. The respective blade root comprises two grooves extending substantially azimuthally in relation to a turbine axis, and the respective locking plate comprises two tongues which are arranged such that they are connected to the two grooves of the blade root for sealing.
