TURBINE AIRFOIL PROFILE

Abstract:

A turbine blade for a rotary machine includes an airfoil that extends from a root to a tip along a radial span. The airfoil further includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that are coupled together at a leading edge of the airfoil and that extend aftward to a trailing edge of the airfoil. One of the first sidewall or the second sidewall includes a tip region having an increased stagger angle that produces a non-linear, over-hanging trailing edge.
