A compressor stator vane (18) includes pressure and suction sides (20,22) extending chordally between leading and trailing edges (24,26) and longitudinally between a root (28) and a tip (30). The vane narrows in chord to a waist (36) between the root and tip. The vane may also be bowed at its trailing edge (26) in cooperation with the narrow waist.
