Zusammenfassung: | A compressor stator includes an outer casing supporting a row of stator vanes extending radially inwardly therefrom. Each vane includes pressure and suction sides extending axially between leading and trailing edges and radially between a root and a tip. The root and tip are twisted relative to a pitch section disposed therebetween. Each vane tip is radially convex adjacent a leading edge for defining an axially concave outer flowpath in the casing for reducing peak velocity of airflow for enhanced efficiency. |
