blading
- noun
- Specialized
- Getting the right pitch to turbomachinery blading is key to efficiency and successful operation, much as musicians strive to get the right pitch with their instruments.
Examples
-

Etymology
Blading here comes from the word blade, meaning a thin, flat part like a fan or turbine 'blade' that moves air or water. So, blading can mean the group of those blades on a machine, because those blades work together to make the machine run.
