    Abstract: A blade for an axial flow machine having a pressure surface, suction surface and trailing edge. The blade has a cross-sectional aerofoil profile including: a region of maximum curvature corresponding to the trailing edge of the blade and defining a trailing edge radius of curvature r; a trailing edge region extending from the trailing edge and having a chordwise extent equal to curvature r′s trailing edge radius; a taper region adjacent the trailing edge region, the taper region having a chordwise extent greater than the curvature r′s trailing edge radius and no more than 15% of the blade's chord; a body region adjacent the taper region; a pressure surface boundary corresponding to the blade's pressure surface; and a suction surface boundary corresponding to the blade's suction surface. A thickness between the pressure and suction surface boundaries reduces within the taper region towards the trailing edge by at least 50%.
