Zusammenfassung:A compressor section for a gas turbine engine includes a blade including a platform, a tip and an airfoil extending between the platform and tip. The airfoil includes a root portion adjacent to the platform, a midspan portion and a tip portion. Each of the root portion, midspan portion and tip portion define a meridional velocity at stage exit with the tip portion including a first meridional velocity greater than a second meridional velocity of the midspan portion. A blade for an axial compressor of a gas turbine engine and a method of operating a compressor section of a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
