Zusammenfassung:	A rotor assembly for use in a turbofan engine is provided. The rotor assembly includes an annular spool including a blade opening defined therein, and a rotor blade radially insertable through the blade opening. The rotor blade includes a rotor blade radially insertable through the blade opening. The rotor blade includes a root portion having a dovetail shape, and the root portion is undersized relative to the blade opening. At least one secondary dovetail member is positioned within the blade opening and configured to couple the root portion within the blade opening with an interference fit.
