Abstract:
Airfoils are provided having a body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first end surface, and a second end surface opposite the first end surface, wherein (i) a first true chord length is a line extending from a first leading edge point to a first trailing edge point and (ii) a second true chord length is a line extending from a second leading edge point to a second trailing edge point, a first button located on the first end surface of the airfoil body, the first button having a first diameter and a first attachment device extending from the first button to enable rotation of the airfoil body about an attachment device axis. The first diameter is at least 15% of the first true chord length or the attachment device axis is located 10% of the first true chord length from the leading edge point.
