TURBINE ENGINE WITH AIRFOIL HAVING HIGH ACCELERATION AND LOW BLADE TURNING

Abstract:

A turbine engine with at least a compressor section, combustor section, turbine section and a set of airfoils. The airfoils include geometric characteristics to create a high contraction ratio (CR), a low blade turning (BT) at a radially inward location the airfoil, a low solidity, or a low aspect ratio (AR).
