HIGH TURNING FAN EXIT STATOR

摘要

A turbine engine includes a fan section that rotates about a longitudinal axis and a compressor section. The turbine engine also includes a fan exit stator located between the fan section and the compressor section, the fan exit stator including an airfoil. The airfoil defines an entrance angle with respect to a leading edge of the airfoil and a line parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the airfoil defines an exit angle with respect to a trailing edge of the airfoil and a line parallel to the longitudinal axis. A difference between the entrance angle and the exit angle is between about 45° and about 65°. The turbine engine also includes a turbine section, and a portion of the compressor section is driven by a portion of the turbine section.
