Abstract:
An airfoil for a compression section 12 of a rotary machine 10 is disclosed. Various construction details are developed to increase the efficiency of the compression section 12. In one detailed embodiment, the airfoil has a spanwise axis 52 or stacking line which extends in a generally radial direction. The stacking line or spanwise axis 52 is straight over the mid-section of the airfoil and is angled circumferentially toward the radial direction in the end wall regions 58, 66 of the airfoil.
