Abstract
A rotor blade having an airfoil for a compressor is described. The airfoil has an airfoil root, an airfoil tip located at a spanwise distance from the airfoil root, a leading edge extending from the airfoil root to the airfoil tip, an inner span region ('S) between the airfoil root and a first height location on the airfoil leading edge, a midspan region ('S) between the first height location and a second height location on the airfoil leading edge located radially outward from the first height location; an outer span region (“S) between the second height location and the airfoil tip, wherein the airfoil has a normalized camber profile such that the normalized camber increases in the outer span region in a spanwise direction towards the tip and is more than 2.2 in the outer span region.
