Question -   I read an article on Scram and Ram jet experiments.Within 
this article there was a description of two components 'blisks and 
blings'. I have been unable to find the original article! My daughter is 
studying Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and cannot find any reference 
to the component termed 'blings'. Could you help us out?

This is usually the welding of blades to disks (blisks) and blades to rings 
(blings).
