This is the compressor stator of a General Electric J-47 jet engine. Each stator has hundreds of blades. The "rotor," the rotating portion of the compressor, also has hundreds of blades. Use of Fabricated stator blades, instead of forged blades, will save the Air Force millions of dollars annually on one model alone of the several J-47 models produced by the company for USAF.
