Abstract:
A rotor blade for a compressor of a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending from a root to a tip and having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil has a span that extends from 0% at the root to 100% at the tip and a mean camber line that extends from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The airfoil has a total camber distribution that increases from the root to a maximum value of total camber between 5% of the span and 20% of the span.
