An aircraft propulsion system includes a bladed rotor configured for rotation about a rotational axis. A rotor blade of the bladed rotor of rotor blades includes a blade body. The blade body has a blade span extending between and to a base end and a tip end. The blade body has a blade chord extending between and to a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade body forms a pressure side surface and a suction side surface. The blade body forms a recess at the pressure side surface. The recess includes a recess surface portion forming a portion of the pressure side surface. The recess surface portion has a recess height. The recess height is greater than or equal to a Y-value of 0.025 for a normalized two-dimensional curve of a surface profile of the recess surface portion taken along a Y-Z plane orthogonal to the rotational axis for a recess span.
