STATOR BLADE AIRFOIL PROFILE FOR A COMPRESSOR

A stator blade with an airfoil for a compressor is provided to have an airfoil profile defined by Cartesian coordinate values having X, Y and Z values. A stator blade for a compressor includes an airfoil(18). The airfoil is formed into an envelope shape within ±0.100 inches in a direction normal to the airfoil surface location. The airfoil has an uncoated nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I. The Z coordinate values are perpendicular distances from planes normal to a radius from the compressor centerline and include the X and Y values with the Z value commencing at zero in the X, Y plane at a radial aerodynamic section of the airfoil. When the X and Y coordinate values are connected by smooth continuing arcs, the X and Y coordinate values define the airfoil profile at each distance Z. The profiles at the Z distances are joined smoothly with one another to form the complete airfoil shape.
