Abstract
An airfoil assembly for turbine engines is provided. The airfoil assembly includes a plurality of airfoils and an airfoil includes a first surface defining a pressure side and a second surface defining a suction side, a plurality of first chord sections defining at least one first chord length, a plurality of second chord sections defining at least one second chord length, and a plurality of wave-shaped projections extending along the trailing edge. The plurality of wave-shaped projections each define a wave peak and a wave trough. The wave-shaped projections have an amplitude that is a proportion of an average local chord length of the airfoil. The wave-shaped projections may be designed according to a relationship to power coefficient, fan pressure ratio, and/or thrust coefficient of a turbine engine to produce an airfoil with a sculpted trailing edge feature that reduces noise during operation of the turbine engine.
