Abstract
The present disclosure provides an improved first stage airfoil for a compressor blade having a unique chord length (CD) stagger angle (γ) and camber angle (Δβ). The stagger angle (γ) and camber angle (Δβ) provide improved aerodynamics while the chord length (CD) provides for reduced airfoil weight.
