- Reduced maintenance costs
- Extended lifespan of rotor systems
Original Abstract Submitted
an integrally bladed rotor includes a rotor disk, rotor blade, internal channel and air outlets. the rotor blade includes a body defined by a pressure surface and suction surface between a leading edge and a trailing edge. the internal channel extends radially from the rotor disk internally within the body of the rotor blade. the air outlets are formed proximate the leading edge and extend within the body of the rotor blade to the internal channel.
