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.
Abstract:
An airfoil of a turbine engine includes pressure and suction sides and extends in a radial direction from a 0% span position to a 100% span position. The airfoil has a relationship between a camber angle and span position that defines a curve with the camber angle having a positive slope from 0% span to 100% span.
Abstract:
A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes a blade extending from a root and a contoured tip portion at a first end of the blade. The first end is opposite the root. The contoured tip portion includes a first sloped region and a second sloped region. The second sloped region is steeper than the first sloped region, relative to a platform.
Abstract:
A compressor airfoil of a turbine engine having a geared architecture includes pressure and suction sides that extend in a radial direction from a 0% span position to a 100% span position. The airfoil has a relationship between an axial stacking offset and span position that includes a curve with a negative slope from 90% span to 100% span. The negative slope leans forward relative to an engine axis.
Abstract:
An airfoil of a turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, 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 a gap/chord ratio and span position that defines a curve with a gap/chord ratio having a portion with a negative slope.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a core housing that includes an inlet case and an intermediate case that respectively provide an inlet case flow path and an intermediate case flowpath. A shaft provides a rotational axis. A hub is operatively supported by the shaft. A rotor is connected to the hub and supports a compressor section. The compressor section is arranged in a core flow path axially between the inlet case flow path and the intermediate case flow path. The core flowpath has an inner diameter and an outer diameter. At least a portion of inner diameter has an increasing slope angle relative to the rotational axis. A bearing is mounted to the hub and supports the shaft relative to one of the intermediate case and the inlet case.
