A compression stage [8] having a plurality of stator vanes [40] and rotor blades [14] coaxial with a longitudinal centerline axis [15], each stator vane haying an exit swirl angle distribution such that the exit swirl angle has a maximum value at an intermediate radius location and each rotor blade having a blade leading edge adapted to receive the flow from the stator vanes with the exit swirl angle distribution profile. |
