The annulus filler has a body portion which defines an airflow surface for air being drawn through the engine, and one or more hook portions which extend radially inwardly from the body portion. The hook portions are for connection to corresponding engagement portions on the radially outer face of the rotor disc. The or each hook portion is attached to the body portion by a joining arrangement in which a wedge part provided by one of the hook portion and the body portion is received in a complementary-shaped retention recess provided by the other of the hook portion and the body portion. |
