Abstract

The invention relates to an airfoil for a compressor of a turbomachine, which extends starting from a blade root between a leading edge and a trailing edge to a blade tip, wherein the leading edge has a leading-edge thickness and the airfoil has a maximum profile thickness, the ratio of which to each other represents a relative leading-edge thickness, and the airfoil has a leading-edge wedge angle.
