Abstract:
Stator vanes including curved trailing edges are disclosed. The stator vanes may include a body including a central section, a tip section positioned radially above the central section, and a root section positioned radially below the central section. The body of the stator vanes may also include a leading edge extending radially adjacent the root section, central section, and tip section, respectively, and a trailing edge positioned opposite and aft to the leading edge. The trailing edge may include a concave contour including a first portion radially aligned with the central section of the body. The first portion may be axially offset and forward of a reference line that may be perpendicular to an axial direction and intersects the concave contour at the tip section and the root section. A concavity of the first portion of the concave contour may be formed radially aft of the central section.
