Abstract
A compressor has: a rotor and a stator having vanes, a vane of the vanes having an airfoil extending from a root proximate an inner hub to a radially outer tip, the airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge to define a chord length, the airfoil having a pressure side surface and a suction side surface, and a fillet disposed at the leading edge of the root of the airfoil and extending between the pressure side surface and the inner hub, the fillet having a radial height being maximum at the leading edge, the radial height decreasing from the leading edge to blend smoothly into a remainder of the airfoil, the fillet extending downstream from the leading edge a chord-wise distance of less than 50% of a chord length of the airfoil on the pressure side surface.
