  • Patent number: 11162367
    Abstract: A rotor blade airfoil (25) for a turbomachine (1) that is adapted for rotation about a longitudinal axis (2) of the turbomachine (1) is provided. The rotor blade airfoil (25) is built from an airfoil material reinforced with a fibrous material (30). At least a portion of the fibers of the fibrous material (30), in particular at least 20%, preferably at least 30% of the fibers, are oriented in a first fiber direction (31), and the first fiber direction (31) is tilted with respect to the stacking axis of the rotor blade airfoil (25).
