Abstract
An airfoil for a turbine engine includes pressure and suction sides that extend in a radial direction from a 0% span position at an inner flow path location to a 100% span position at an airfoil tip. The airfoil has a relationship between a tangential leading edge location and a span position that corresponds to a curve that is at least a third order polynomial with a generally S-shaped curve that has an initial negative slope followed by a positive slope and then a second negative slope. The positive slope leans toward the suction side and the negative slopes lean toward the pressure side.
