<p>GAS TURBINE ENGINE BLADE The invention comprises a blade for a gas turbine engine including an airfoil portion having a non-linear stacking axis intersecting a reference radial axis that is effective for generating a compressive component of bending stress due to centrifugal force acting on the blade. The compressive component of bending stress is provided in a life-limiting section of the blade, which, for example, includes trailing and leading edges of the blade. Inasmuch as the stacking axis, which represents the locus of centers of gravity of transverse sections of an airfoil portion of the blade, is non-linear, an increased amount of a compressive, component of bending stress can be generated at a life-limiting section between a root and tip of the blade without substantially increasing bending stress at the root of the blade due to the non-linear stacking.</p> |
