A bladed rotor for the high pressure compressor of a gas turbine engine comprises a disc carrying an annular array of aerofoil blades in axially extending fir tree root slots. Retention plates carried in radially inner and outer slots prevent axial movement of the blade roots in their slots. A locking member is interposed between an adjacent pair of retention plates to prevent their circumferential movement relative to the disc. The locking member in turn interacts with the disc to anchor itself to the disc.

A bladed rotor for a gas turbine engine comprising a rotor disc having a peripheral region, a plurality of rotor aerofoil blades, said rotor aerofoil blades being attached to and extending radially from said peripheral region, each of said aerofoil blades having a root portion, which is located in a correspondingly shaped generally axially extending slot provided in said rotor disc peripheral region to facilitate radial fixing of each of said aerofoil blades on said rotor disc, and an annular array of circumferentially adjacent retention plates axially adjacent said aerofoil blade roots to facilitate axial aerofoil blade fixing on said rotor disc at least in one axial direction, at least said disc defining confronting radially spaced apart annular slots to receive and axially locate said retention plates, and at least one locking member, a first portion of which is interposed between an adjacent pair of said retention plates and is contiguous with exposed surfaces of said pair of retention plates, a second portion of said locking member being so configured as to interact with a corresponding feature on said disc to prevent circumferential movement of said locking member, and hence circumferential movement of said retention plates, relative to said rotor disc, said second portion of said locking member being configured to be contiguous with exposed surfaces of said rotor disc, said locking member being provided with a third portion adapted to co-operate with said adjacent pair of retention plates to prevent axial movement of said locking member relative to said disc.
