Abstract
A turbine blade including an airfoil having a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall joined together along an upstream leading edge and a downstream trailing edge. The leading edge and trailing edge are formed as substantially straight edges, and portions of the pressure sidewall and suction sidewall adjacent the trailing edge form substantially planar surfaces. The airfoil has an uncoated nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table 1 wherein Z represents a perpendicular distance from a plane normal to a radius of a turbine centerline and containing the X and Y values with the Z value commencing at zero in the X, Y plane at a radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil, and X and Y represent coordinate values defining the airfoil profile at each distance Z which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define profile sections at each distance Z.
