Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure include a gas turbine engine system. The system may include a rotor wheel (32) having a number of blades (20) mounted about a periphery of the rotor wheel (32). Further, the system may include a retention device (100). The retention device may include a number of projections (102) extending from a radial surface of the rotor wheel (32) to form a number of circumferential slots (104) about the rotor wheel (32). The retention device (100) may also include a number of elongated members (106) positioned within the circumferential slots (104) to impede axial movement of the blades (20).
