A turbofan gas turbine engine (10) comprises a compressor rotor (24)
carrying a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending rotor
blades (26) and a casing (28) surrounding the compressor rotor (24) and
compressor rotor blades (26). A compressor rotor blade tip seal (48)
comprises an annular member (30) secured to and arranged within the
casing (28). The annular member (40) has a plurality of circumferentially
spaced axially extending corrugations (32) and a plurality of radially
spaced circumferentially extending corrugations (34). A lining (40) is
secured to and arranged within the annular member (30). The lining (40)
is spaced radially from the tips (27) of the compressor rotor blades (26)
to form a clearance (29). An actuator (56) is provided to move the
annular member (30) and lining (40) radially to control the size of the
clearance (29).
