Abstract
An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an airfoil having pressure and suction sides extending 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 curve corresponding to a relationship between a trailing edge sweep angle and a span position. The trailing edge sweep angle is in a range of 10° to 20° in a range of 40-70% span position. The trailing edge sweep angle is positive from 0% span to at least 95% span.
