A turbine stator vane for use in an axial flow gas turbine. The vane has an aerofoil, the pressure face of which is convex between platform and tip regions in a plane which extends both radially of the turbine and transversely of the general working fluid flow direction between the vanes. The trailing edge of the aerofoil is straight from platform to tip, and the spanwise convex and concave curvatures of the aerofoil pressure and suction surfaces respectively are achieved by rotational displacement of the aerofoil sections about the straight trailing edge. However, the axial width of the aerofoil is substantially constant over substantially all of the aerofoil radial height and the chord line at mid-height aerofoil sections is shorter than the chord lines in aerofoil sections at platform or tip regions. Reducing chord length at the mid-height region in this way lowers aerodynamic profile losses without unduly affecting vane performance. Also disclosed is a turbine rotor blade designed to form a stage pair with the stator vane.
