Patent ·
OSTI ID:6149720

A turbine blade is described that is comprised of at least a pair of abutting blade parts with each part having a root coupled to an attachment piece, the latter adapted to be coupled to a turbine rotor. The blade parts can be curved and each blade part may have a hollow space in the region where it abuts the other blade part to reduce the weight of the blade. The blade parts may be spigoted or mated with tongue and groove structure to reduce fluid leakage through the junction between the blade parts.
