Abstract:
An aerofoil member that extends between radially inner and radially outer endwalls which define a gas annulus of the compressor. Aerofoil member has a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure surface and a suction surface such that successive cross-sections through the aerofoil member transverse to the radial direction provide respective aerofoil sections. The external shape of the aerofoil member is defined by the stacking of the aerofoil sections on a stacking axis which passes through a reference point common to each aerofoil section. The aerofoil member has lean produced by the projection of the stacking axis onto a plane normal to the engine axis intersecting a first one of the endwalls at an angle of from 5° to 25° to the circumferential direction direction such that the pressure surface faces the first endwall.
