Abstract
A blade assembly including a blade which includes a lift generating section with a first profiled body defined between a pressure surface and a suction surface. The first profile body extends from a first leading edge to a first trailing edge with a first chord extending form the first leading edge to the first trailing edge and being perpendicular to the radial direction. A plurality of flow deflectors extend along either the pressure surface or the suction surface within the lift generating section of the blade. The plurality of flow deflectors define a second profile body extending between a second leading edge and a second trailing edge with a second chord extending between the second leading edge and the second trailing edge. The second profile body defines an outer surface extending vertically from a base portion of the plurality of flow deflectors such that the base portion is configured to be disposed on the respective pressure surface or suction surface along which the plurality of flow deflectors extend therefrom.
