Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed examples include an airfoil comprising: a pressure side and a suction side that are coupled together at a substantially radial trailing edge of the airfoil, wherein the substantially radial trailing edge is downstream from a leading edge, the leading edge including a sweep feature of a variable chord length, the variable chord length to include: a first increase in chord length and a decrease in chord length along a radial length from a hub end of the airfoil to an opposite tip end of the airfoil; and a second increase in chord length along the radial length from the hub end to the opposite tip end, the second increase different than the first increase.
