Abstract:
A compressor airfoil of a turbine engine having a geared architecture includes pressure and suction sides extending in a radial direction from a 0% span position to a 100% span position. The airfoil has a relationship between leading edge sweep angle and span position defined by a curve in which the leading edge sweep angle is positive at 0% span and crosses to a negative leading edge sweep angle at a span position less than 80% span. A negative sweep angle is in the forward direction, and a positive sweep angle is in the rearward direction.
