Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A compressor blade having an airfoil that comprises oppositely-disposed convex and concave surfaces, oppositely-disposed leading and trailing edges defining therebetween a chord length of the airfoil, a forward-most nose of the airfoil located at the leading edge and having a profile, a blade tip, and an erosion-resistant coating. The coating is present on the concave surface near the trailing edge, optionally present on the nose, optionally present on the convex surface, wherein the convex surface is free of the erosion resistant coating within at least 20% of the chord length from the nose. The thickness of the coating on the concave surface, the convex surface, and the nose is such that, if the gas turbine engine is exposed to an erosive environment, deterioration of the concave surface, the convex surface and the leading edge does not form a pronounced cusp at an intersection of the convex surface and leading edge.
