Airfoil tip for a rotor assembly

摘要

An airfoil (42) for use in a rotor assembly is provided. The airfoil includes a first sidewall (44), a second sidewall (46) coupled to the first sidewall at a leading edge (48) and at a trailing edge (50), a root portion (54), and a tip portion (60) extending obliquely between the first and second sidewalls at an angle that facilitates reducing radial loading induced to the airfoil during tip rubs.
