  • Blade assembly for gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 11506072
    Abstract: A blade assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor, a stator, a seal plate, and a sealing member. The rotor includes a rotor blade and a rotor disc. The rotor disc defines a bucket groove which receives a cooling fluid from a first cavity upstream of the rotor. The sealing member includes a control arm. The sealing member and the rotor define a flow cavity therebetween in fluid communication with an aperture of the seal plate. The flow cavity receives the cooling fluid flowing through the bucket groove and the aperture. The control arm and the seal plate define a gap therebetween fluidly communicating the flow cavity with a second cavity between the stator and the rotor. The control arm deflects at least a portion of the cooling fluid entering the flow cavity.
