BLADE FOR AXIAL COMPRESSOR ROTOR

摘要

A blade for a compressor rotor comprises a blade root at a first end of the blade extending from a rotor body of the compressor, and a blade tip at a second end of the blade. The first end and the second end are disposed on a span of the blade. The blade root and the blade tip define a face of the blade between them. The blade tip comprises a first extremity and a second extremity. The blade tip is disposed such that a first segment of the blade tip defines a positive dihedral angle with the face of the blade. The first segment extends from a first point in the blade tip to the first extremity of the blade tip. A second segment of the blade tip defines a negative dihedral angle with the face of the blade. The second segment extends from a second point in the blade tip to the second extremity of the blade tip.
