🔍 Key Concepts

• Gas turbine compressor blade construction (rotor vs. stator blades) • Function of platforms on blades (aerodynamic shaping, stiffness, vibration control) • Meaning of the term "midspan" in relation to a blade's length (root–mid–tip)

💭 Think About

• Is a midspan platform located near the root, the tip, or somewhere between, and how does that rule out some choices? • Which options describe rotor features and which describe stator features, and how does that match the term used in gas turbine design? • Think about very long compressor blades: what added feature might they need partway along their length to control vibration and airflow?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the question is referring to rotor blades or stator blades based on typical usage of "midspan platform" in gas turbines. • Check which options clearly mention tips vs. center/middle of the blade and compare that with the word "midspan". • Eliminate any options that confuse supporting a blade with being part of the blade itself.
