  • Patent number: 9896940
    Abstract: A blade, in particular a rotor blade or a stator vane, for a gas turbomachine, in particular a turbojet engine, the blade having an airfoil (1) for deflecting a flow of working fluid and a first platform (3) connected thereto, in particular integrally connected thereto, to radially bound a flow duct for the working fluid, the airfoil having a suction side and a pressure side (1.1) which are connected at a leading edge (1.2) and at a trailing edge (1.3). The trailing edge has a first minimum wall thickness in a first region (A) of a radial longitudinal extent (R) of the airfoil proximal to the first platform (3), and a maximum wall thickness that is smaller than the first minimum wall thickness in a platform-distal region (C) of the radial longitudinal extent.

  • Patent number: 9739156
    Abstract: A turbine or compressor stage of a gas turbine, the rotor blade having a radially outer shroud (1) which has a sealing fin array having a first sealing fin (3.1) and a second sealing fin (3.2) which is adjacent to the first sealing fin and connected thereto by a first groove base (10) having a circumferential region (13) of maximum radial height, which is located at a first circumferential position is provided. The sealing fin array has a third sealing fin (3.3) adjacent to the second sealing fin and opposite to the first sealing fin, the third sealing fin being connected to the second sealing fin by a second groove base (20) having a circumferential region (23) of maximum radial height, which is located at a second circumferential position different from the first circumferential position.
