Abstract
An airfoil 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 profiled 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. At least one flow deflector extends along either the pressure surface or the suction surface within the lift generating section of the blade. The at least one flow deflector defines a second profiled 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 profiled body defines an outer surface facing away from respective pressure surface or suction surface along which the flow deflector extends.
